About

About the course

Course content

The main goal of the course is to build up the right attitude to the use of energy in buildings considering also all environmental consequences. Furthermore, the intention is to develop a multidisciplinary approach to the energy supply and use in new and existing buildings taking advantage of knowledge from architecture, building technology, applied thermodynamics, electrical power engineering, heating, refrigeration, air-conditioning, control engineering, economics, management and data processing. Lectures are dealing with indoor environment, profitability of measures, energy prices and tarifs, building phisics, heat loses and gains, building installations, automatis controls, energy consumption analisys, practical work with energy efficeincy measures, potential for energy conservation, energy monitoring.

Learning outcome

The intention of the course is to give basic knowledge and methods for planning, analysis, design and implementing of energy efficient solutions in both new and existing buildings.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, demonstrations, exercises, laboratory assignment, excursions. Term assignment will be conducted as a problem based group work and wil be graded with 25% weight for the final grade. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
