Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)

On completion of the course, the student should

Knowledge and understanding

-Demonstrate knowledge about the building as an energy system and how it can be controlled to support a sustainable development.
-Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the energy balance of the building.
-Demonstrate knowledge about different types of technical systems (electricity, heat, ventilation and sanitation) in buildings.

Skills and abilities

-Demonstrate the ability to calculate and design the building envelope and services according to standard requirements and criteria for low-energy buildings.

Judgement and approach

-Show ability to evaluate the building with its energy and technical installation systems from a sustainable development perspective, including ecological, social and economic aspects.
