Aims
To develop knowledge and understanding of energy sources and of management of production and consumption of energy in an efficient and sustainable way. Develop a critical understanding of energy efficient and sustainable design and construction of buildings and how this can contribute to management of our energy supply.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Develop knowledge and understanding of energy sources and be able to evaluate the sustainability of alternate energy sources.
2.
Critically appraise the efficient and sustainable management of energy consumption and distribution.
3.
Critically appraise energy efficient and sustainable design, construction and operation of buildings.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Energy sources and sustainability of alternative energy sources (e.g. solar thermal, PV, hydropower, geothermal, wind energy, tidal energy, CHP, heat pumps); Energy consumption prediction and management; Energy distribution and smart grids; Green buildings: carbon neutral and sustainable construction and energy efficient building design; Legal and Institutional Framework;
Module Overview:
This module provides knowledge and understanding of energy sources and management of production and consumption of energy in an efficient and sustainable way. It will allow students to critically evaluate energy efficient and sustainable design in the construction of buildings and how this can contribute to management of energy supply. It will also provide legal and institutional framework context in this area.
