Sustainable Building and Energy Efficiency Development
Posted 1 year 6 months ago by Taipei Medical University
Learn the basics of thermodynamics to explore energy conservation
Increasing energy efficiency not only helps individuals and organisations lower operating costs, but it also reduces carbon emissions.
On this six-week course from Taipei Medical University, you’ll develop your knowledge of sustainable building and energy-saving technology to understand the importance of energy conservation.
You’ll explore the basic laws of thermodynamics before moving onto energy use from different perspectives. Then, you’ll be introduced to practical case studies to help you understand future trends in sustainable building and energy development.
Explore different types of energy
To help you understand the problems and opportunities arising from energy use, you’ll delve into its different types such as nuclear and renewable.
Within this, you’ll explore the relationship between energy consumption and the environment to understand how it is contributing to climate change.
Unpack energy efficient building design
You’ll explore energy efficiency from a variety of contexts such as how an air conditioning system can have an energy-saving design. You’ll also explore different energy efficient building designs such as sunshades and passive heating.
Next, you’ll discover the energy efficiency codes you may need to follow in your country.
Uncover the importance of wind energy
Finally, you’ll delve into the use of wind energy to understand why we need it, its challenges, and how to make use of wind energy in compact urban areas.
You’ll then explore the future emerging technologies in the wind power sector as well as the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy.
By the end, you’ll have the knowledge to confidently discuss sustainable building and energy efficient development.
