| Educational objectives | The aim is to provide students with knowledge and competence needed for energy performance of buildings, heating systems and renewable energy systems for building. The sizing criterion for the main components of a plant will be acquired. |
| Prerequisites | In order to be able to understand and to apply the of the topics of the Course, students should know the basic notions in the Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. Knowledge of these notions is a mandatory prerequisite for attending the course with profit. |
| Teaching methods | - Theoretical lessons ; - on line quizzes (voluntary). |
| Other information | The students should develop a project (Term paper) which should be revised before the exam. |
| Learning verification modality | The exam consists of an oral test and the presentation of a work on topics regarding the laboratory activities, made by the students individually or in a group and concerning a case study. The oral test consists of an interview of about 15-30 minutes long in order to verify the knowledge level and the understanding capability acquired by the student on theoretical and methodological contents. The examination will also check the student communication skills and his ability in the exposure of theoretical and applied aspects. |
