The Built Environment: The Energy Context (BENV0001)

This module deals with the challenges posed by the current energy context, examining the motivations for implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in a scenario characterised by the limited fossil resources and climate change. The energy use in buildings is analysed and the potential for renewable energy sources explored.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Have a global knowledge of the main challenges of the current energy context, regarding the limited fossil fuel resources and climate change

• Critically understand energy use in buildings

• Implement different modelling and assessing techniques for the evaluation of energy use in buildings

• Introduce the economic analysis perspective in the evaluation of optimal energy scenarios and solutions in the built environment
