Energy Efficient Buildings, Systems and Refurbishment (Taught) | Diploma / certificate | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 3 months | Leeds Beckett University | United Kingdom
Through case studies and fieldwork, you will analyse the latest energy-efficiency innovations and renewable technologies applied to new buildings and those undergoing retrofits. By examining contemporary passive houses, nearly-zero-energy buildings and energy plus-structures, you will discover how the leading exemplars in this field achieve their efficiency performances. You will also study the shortcomings in current building efficiencies - where they fall short in meeting their energy targets and how they can be improved with the resources available
