Aims
The aim of this module is to provide students with an understanding on how different renewable energy sources can be designed, installed and optimised to provide a clean energy supply to displace the reliance of building in fossil fuels and its sustainability implications to climate change. The module will allow students to familiarise themselves with the latest implementation of renewable energy into buildings and how they will interact with available fossil fuel sources from the point of creating a clean energy supply for the building needs
