| Course Objectives: |
For a passing grade the student must
• be able to describe the links between energy use and environmental problems and to discuss the role of the built environment in relation to the total energy use in the society
• be able to account for how the Swedish climate varies between different seasons and geographically (mainly solar radiation and outdoor temperatures) and how this affects the energy balance and indoor climate
• be able to discuss the placement of solar collecting surfaces (i.e. requirements on orientation, slope, size, freedom of shadows) in relation to the amount of produced energy or to the building’s energy demand
• be able to describe common solar energy systems and their potential for energy production.
