Building Energetics

Description

To educate professionals who would be able to analyze, model and simulate the energy conversion processes, also would be able to identify, formulate and solve the engineering problems related with heat production and conversion, heat supply, gas supply and consumption, as well as with indoor air quality, while planning, designing, using new and available energy, thermal equipment and systems, which exhibit high efficiency, cost effectiveness, quality and reliability of energy conversion, consumption and management in a coherent and sustainable demand of resources and environmental impact.

What will students learn?

• To use non-renewable and renewable energy sources, their structure, properties, function, components and processes of interaction, the overall integrity of these systems, their interaction with environment.
• To use computer technologies required to tackle the tasks and challenges in the area of energy engineering, having the skills operating the measuring equipment and laboratory skills working with the machinery of thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, ventilation and hydraulic machines.
