Fundamentals of Energy in Buildings
Fundamentals of Energy in Buildings,
is an undergraduate class offered in the Department
of Architecture, and jointly in the Department of Civil
and Environmental Engineering and the Department of
Mechanical Engineering. It provides a first course in
thermo-sciences for students primarily interested in
architecture and building technology. Throughout the
course, the fundamentals important to energy, ventilation,
air conditioning and comfort in buildings are introduced.

Sustainable Energy
This course covers the assessment
of current and potential future energy systems. It includes
topics on resources, extraction, conversion, and end-use,
with emphasis on meeting regional and global energy
needs in the 21st century in a sustainable manner –
for both - different renewable as well as conventional
energy technologies.

Photovoltaic Solar Energy Systems
This course covers study of the
behaviour of photovoltaic solar energy systems, focusing
on the behaviour of "stand-alone" systems.
The design of stand-alone photovoltaic systems is also
covered, including estimation of costs and benefits,
taking into account any available government subsidies.
