The postgraduate course in Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency aims to provide its trainees with the necessary tools to design and calculate mini-installations for the production of energy from renewable sources.
New technologies, business and energy market perspectives, and the European support to the implementation of renewable systems and energy efficiency are also approached and developed in a practical way.
The course is of a fundamentally practical nature, including case studies, system sizing and theoretical foundations.
The postgraduate course in Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency is a wide spectrum training programme with its pivotal and complementary role in economy and environment-related areas.
