In this unit learners will be exposed to two different types of sustainable energy; that is sustainable energy in the built environment and also sustainable transportation.
In this very skills-based unit learners will be able to demonstrate that they have acquired the necessary skills to be able to implement measures to optimise the use of sustainable energy in the built environment using basic calculation principles and state of the art software tools.
Learners will also learn the techniques and methods to perform a proper energy audit and establish in a professional manner whether an energy retrofitting project is commercially viable.
To support all the above learners will be expected to carry out fieldwork and data collection in order to predict the environmental sustainability in different scenarios in the local and international context.
Learners will also be given an introduction to sustainable transportation which will include the main concepts of sustainable transportation and the different technologies used nowadays.
This course also provides a very good basis for Level 7 education related to sustainable energy and the sustainable built environment.
