This module focuses on design techniques for energy-efficient buildings, with a strong emphasis on positive energy buildings and the Passive House standard. It explores the architecture of green buildings, fundamental principles of building physics, and the use of building energy simulations to optimize building performance:
- Design strategies for energy-efficient and positive energy buildings
- Passive House principles and performance criteria
- Architecture of green and low-energy buildings
- Building physics: heat, air, and energy flows
- Building energy simulations for performance optimization
The module aligns with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
