Qualification Objectives 

During this module, students are expected to achieve specific qualification objectives to deepen their competencies in the energy performance assessment of buildings. The following goals are emphasized: Throughout the module, students aim to acquire comprehensive foundational knowledge in the areas of energy generation, distribution, storage, and utilization in buildings. This serves as the basis for understanding complex relationships in energy performance assessment. Another objective is the application of simple methods for energy performance assessment using practical examples. Here, students should be able to analyze and optimize the energy consumption of both existing and new buildings. Additionally, students should understand and apply the interactions between building envelopes and building technology in practice. This will enable them to reduce the energy consumption of buildings through targeted optimizations.
