Learning Outcomes
After the successful completion of the course, it is expected that the students will be able to:
• understand, study and design the building envelope to meet the high-energy performance standards,
• select and successfully combine the construction materials that align with the structural and construction requirements while achieving the optimum energy performance,
• conceive, study, and calculate the energy performance of a building,
• study and suggest building construction interventions in order to upgrade the energy performance of an existing building,
• provide solutions that will minimise the energy consumption of a building, while achieving a thermally comfort and healthy indoor environment throughout the year,
• conduct an energy performance of a building,
• carry out a building’s energy audit.
