Building Energy Conservation Technologies

English Description

Energy consumption: trends in energy consumption, evaluation of energy performance of existing buildings, standards of energy efficiency in buildings, measurements, total energy consumption. Building thermal environment: external and internal heat sources, methods of heat transfer, evaluating heat transfer, internal thermal environment, building design strategies save energy needed to reach thermal comfort inside building; skin parameters and passive strategies for saving energy, evaluating needs of heating and cooling. Renewable energy sources: passive or active solar systems, wind power geothermal systems. Optimum selection of energy sources. Impact of emerging technologies.
