Lectures

Goal

Acquiring knowledge and skills in the field of energy certification of buildings - the concept of energy building certificate, building energy consumption, energy needs and significant parameters; comfort conditions and design parameters, central heating and air conditioning systems, energy sources, final and primary energy, domestic hot water systems; optimization of HVAC systems and the application of passive techniques, methodology of calculation of indicators, classification of buildings by type and energy codes; elaboration of energy efficiency, energy certificate.

Outcome

Students acquire specific skills and knowledge in the field of energy certification of buildings; known methods for the calculation of indicators to determine the energy code of the building and can be applied in practice. Connects the basic knowledge and applies them to the elaboration of energy efficiency of the building.

Theoretical teaching

Тhe concept of energy building certificate, Energy Performance of Buildings Directive – main objectives; Legislative in the Republic of Serbia; building energy consumption, energy needs and significant parameters; comfort conditions and design parameters, central heating and air conditioning systems, energy sources, final and primary energy, domestic hot water systems; optimization of HVAC systems and the application of passive techniques, application of renewable energy sources, methodology of calculation of indicators, classification of buildings by type and energy codes; measures for energy efficiency improvement; energy audit, elaborate of building energy efficiency, building energy certificate.

Practical teaching

Practical skills consist of parts: Example of calculation of thermal properties of the building envelope elements - calculation of the coefficient of thermal conductivity, specific transmission and ventilation losses, building shape factor, determination of design conditions and technical systems’ schedules of use, determining energy needs and indicators that define the energy code; application measures to improve energy efficiency of buildings - individual measures and measure sets improvement, financial analysis. Individual Project task – Building energy efficiency elaborate on the example of residential building.

Attendance requirement

Without conditions.
