Urban Energetics

Goal(s)

• Teach to the students the elements of the european powering strategy, adapted to the urban scale;
• Provide to the students the nevessary tools for:
a) ensuring a better life quality for the inhabitants, for an internal comfort of high quality buildings;
b) being able to deal with the power of a building;
c) acting to improve the building energy efficiency;
d) implement the renewable energy in the building power economy.
