Objectives and competences
The objectives and competencies of the course are for students to understand the basics, and to apply the acquired knowledge to:
• to develop efficient and economically successful designing of energy management and engineering.
• application of technical and economic optimization methods with the aim to evaluate rentability of investment into energy systems of the buildings
• development of logical thinking, team work and a creative approach towards research work.
To use and develop the ability of independent and creative solving of engineering problems.
Content (Syllabus outline)
Introduction part with definition of energy management and engineering.

• european standards regarding energy efficiency of buildings
• construction physics and energy saving
• principles of designing energy efficient buildings
• heat insulation in buildings and energy saving.
• atmosphere and well – being taken into account when designing the buildings
• blower door test of low – energy and passive houses
• house of the future – producing energy with synergy, intelligent building
• energy balance of a building
• economic analysis of operating regimes and optimization of functioning with regard to minimum annual costs
Project management, guidance of successful work process. Project management and specialties. Management of individuals and groups. Project and development group activities. Funding and organizing project groups. Project key systems.
Energy Engineering:
• the influence of planning and development of product on maintenance.
• maintenance terminology.
• maintenance objectives and significance, maintenance policies, investments considerations and LCC.
• basics of modern Condition Monitoring systems: Human Senses, Vibration monitoring, Gas Chromatography, Eddy Current, Ultrasound, X-ray.
