Scheda corso

Docenti:
Andrea Mazzolari

Obiettivo formativo:
Modules 1 to 7 describe various retrofitting and energy efficient interventions, grouped according to the target element of the house/building. These lessons provide, for each type of intervention, estimations about the energy and monetary savings, the cost of the investment and the financial pay-back period. Module 8 refers to the certification schemes now in force in the EU for buildings and appliances. Module 9 suggests simple behavioral changes to save energy in everyday home activities. No retrofitting interventions are included here. Tips on good behaviors are though to increase the tenants’ awareness of the concept of energy efficiency, and of the potential savings achievable if simple behavioral measures (which means at cost zero) are followed. Module 10 presents in-depth descriptions of green technologies that can find application in a building or in the urban environment.

The building envelope Module 2: Windows and doors Module 3: Heating and cooling Module 4: Domestic hot water production Module 5: Electricity, lighting and appliances Module 6: Renewable energies Module 7: Home automation Module 8: Energy labels Module 9: Good behavioral practices Module 10: Explanatory sheets on energy efficient technologies.

Conoscenze richieste:
This course describes a series of tips aimed to increase the energy efficiency, to promote the use of renewable energies, and to favor energy savings in the building sector. The educational and practical format of the published material makes it a valuable source of information for professionals, building energy manager, apartment-block administrators, owners and tenants, on how to choose amongst different actions to improve the energy use in buildings, according to the available budgets and type of buildings. Pros and cons of each proposed measure are evidenced as well. Their application will contribute, to a different extent according to the type and scale of the chosen intervention, to decrease the overall building energy demand, to reduce the occupants’ billing costs and the emission of greenhouse gases, with a positive impact on the environment.

A chi è rivolto:
This course is recommended for professionals, apartment-block administrators, owners and tenants, willing to choose which energy saving technologies and products are best suitable for a building and for its energy and electricity systems. Moreover, the non-technical and practical approach of the lessons makes them useful also for those who want to have an overview of the different interventions for building retrofitting and of the renewable energy technologies applicable to the building.
