Aim
The Swedish Environmental Ojectives state that the total energy
use per heated area in residential and commercial buildings will
decrease, with target reductions of 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050,
compared to the energy use in 1995. Also the EC require, in the
“Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, that all new
buildings must be zero energy buildings by 2050.
The aim of the course is to give the student enhanced knowledge
in order to support a sustainable development in order to reduce
the climate changes and the resource use from the building
stock.
The main objective is on existing buildings and the need of
refurbishment including the management.
