EFFICIENTAMENTO ENERGETICO DELL'AMBIENTE COSTRUITO

This course aims to provide knowledge on the following topics

-energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources in the built environment

- analysis of the building system

- evaluation of energy production from renewable energy sources

- the use of software for energy planning

The teaching method of the course consists of lectures, design exercises with application to proposed case studies, and theuse of specific software.

This course foresees the alternation between theoretical lessons and practical exercises on the issues discussed in theclassroom.

Design exercises relating to the production of energy through renewable sources will be assigned.

If the teaching will be given in mixed or remote mode, the necessary changes to what was previously stated may be introduced, in order to comply with the program provided and reported in the syllabus

Students must have a good knowledge of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, heat transmission and the flux of matter and energy, addressed in the courses of technical physics of the three-year degrees.

The knowledge of the features characterizing the use of renewable energy within the built environment. Particular attention will be paid to the link between the studied physical phenomena and their applications in the energy conservation field, and the occupants' global welfare. This course aims to provide the skills that form the basis for a conscious design to energytransition and sustainability issues

Attendance at lessons is strongly recommended as it is consistent with the proposed training model which aims to encourage gradual learning, the active participation of the student in the classroom, and dialogue between teachers and students.

Information for students with disabilities and/or SLD

To guarantee equal opportunities and compliance with the laws in force, interested students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and/or dispensatory measures, based on the didactic objectives and specific needs.

It is also possible to contact the referent teacher CInAP (Center for Active and Participated Integration - Services for Disabilities and/or SLD) of the Department.

The exam consists of an oral test and a discussion of the projects assigned during the course.

The evaluation of the exam is based on the following criteria: level of knowledge of the topics discussed, use of adequate terminology and language properties, ability to apply knowledge in the context of common technical applications, ability to interpret phenomena and relationships between physical quantities

Students who have obtained recognition of the status of student worker, student athlete, student in difficulty and student with disabilities, pursuant to art. 30 of the University Teaching Regulations and the related regulation (D.R. n. 1598 of 2/5/2018), will be able to take exams in the extraordinary sessions reserved for students outside the course limits and will benefit from specific teaching support activities (video lessons where available)
