Modelling Community Energy Systems (BENV0143)

This module provides an introduction to modelling energy demand and energy systems. It explores the role of the built environment in the whole energy system, with a focus on the integration of renewables, demand response and storage. The spatio-temporal nature of energy demand and distributed energy generation will be highlighted and explored. The module discusses the benefits of developing such models, in addition to their limitations. In particular, the use of models to inform policy making and strategy in industry will be explored.

You will develop skills in modelling, and the visualisation and discussion of results, through applying your knowledge to develop techno-economic models of case studies.

Heritage, Values and Sustainability (BENV0125)

The module ‘Heritage, Values and Sustainability’ takes the introductory principles of sustainable heritage from the BENV0126 'Introduction to Sustainable Heritage' module one step further by looking in greater depth at issues related to the actual practice of sustainable heritage management.  It takes into account issues of social, cultural, environmental and economic sustainability.  It also explores heritage values (that is the meanings attributed to heritage by various stakeholders). Great emphasis is placed on the contribution of heritage to the Sustainable Development Goals which are currently of great relevance to national and international policymakers.
