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.

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• Be able to describe the possibilities and limitations for improvements of a building and its building services systems.

• Be able to describe the function of complex building services systems.

• Be able to describe the energy use in buildings and relate to environmental objectives and resource management.

Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must

• Be able to evaluate the influence of the construction and building services on the indoor environment, the energy demand and moisture safety.

• Be able to analyse elementary technical problems related to the building.

• Be able to discuss technical solutions with other actors within building and real estate management sector.

Contents

• Energy efficiency and indoor climate mainly with renovation and management of existing buildings.

• The technical status of the building stock and possibilities for improvements.

• Specific criteria for passive and low-energy buildings.

• The function of different climatic systems in different buildings types.

• Moisture problems in houses and proposals for measures.

• Measures for increasing the energyefficiency.

• Reading building- and building services drawings.

• Project work describing a building with problems with the indoor climate and/or technical problems, find casual connections and propose improvements.
