Introduction
Building Energy Engineering
Energy systems in buildings are by far one of the largest energy consumers, and the production of energy for them is the most polluting and significant in terms of climate change. This is why energy engineering is still one of the fastest growing activities in the world.
The design of such systems requires comprehensive engineering knowledge, so the purpose of the Master's study programme Buildings Energy Engineering is to train specialists who are able to critically analyze, model and integrate the building's energy systems and processes into them.
Such specialists are able to apply innovative technologies and smart solutions for evaluation, design, installation, usage, management and maintenance of the building's smart energy systems.
The Building Energy Engineering program covers many areas – from building, modeling of energy systems, thermodynamic and life-cycle analysis to renewable energy systems, process integration and management of energy demand.
