Learning Outcomes

OB1 - Give the students the necessary knowledge to understand the diverse set of subjects related with buildings sustainability, with particular focus on energy efficiency, giving them the ability to intervene over the building sector, in a systemic way, across all life cycle phases, in the context of maximizing sustainability.
OB2 - Provide the students with the necessary knowledge to intervene over buildings and their associated systems, from design to utilization, in order to minimize environmental impact, in particular in which concerns to energy use, in a life cycle analysis perspective.
