Competency aims
Students taking this course is expected to be
able to measure and calculate energy demands & losses for various loads in detail and to be able to determine the most probable reasons for any loss.
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing this course a student can conduct measurements for energy diagnosis with thermal imaging camera, construction detector, moisture and humidity meter as well as rapid U-value meters. In addition he/she can create energy balance and energy load analysis for various kinds of buildings.
