Examination of possibilities for improving the energy processes, devices thermal and technical characteristics, as well as the residential and office buildings. Thermodynamic and exergy analysis of the possible energy savings in households and industry. Technical and economical analysis, and environmental justification of efficient energy use.

Students are being made capable to deal with the improvement of energy processes, and with the thermodynamic and exergy analysis of the possible energy savings. They are being thought how to use basic economical aspects of efficient energy use, as well as how to independetly and creatively apply their knowledge gained during their scientific and research work.

Fundamental significance of rational energy use. Potentials for increasing the energy efficiency in households and industry. Basic definitions and possibilities for calculating the energy efficiency of the processes, devices and buildings. State of law legislation in the EU countries and our country. Basic definitions and ways of calculating the energy efficiency of the devices, buildings and processes. Application of thermodynamic and exergy analysis on the calculation of possible energy savings in households and industry. Technical and economical analysis, and environmental justification of the application of measures for the rational energy use.
