Sustainable Buildings and Green Cities

Academic content In this Summer School programme, you will explore sustainable energy technologies, especially in the context of buildings. As a participant, you will learn about building performance simulation and methods for energy supply of buildings as well as energy trading and power plant management. The classes cover fundamentals of modelling and simulation to carry out dynamic building simulations. Furthermore, a case study featuring energy efficient technology and a business simulation game featuring energy trading and power plant management enable students to apply their knowledge in a practical manner. Overall, you will reach an understanding of energy efficiency for buildings on a micro-level, and you will also be able to consider connections on a macro-level.
