. "Energy and environmental performance of buildings"@en . . "5.00" . "Learning Outcomes\nThe aim of this module is to provide an understanding of the building’s design principles and approach so that it can achieve the high energy and environmental performance, whilst it ensures high indoor environmental quality conditions.\n\nBy having accomplished the course, students will be able to integrate the design principles of HVAC systems, of automation and controls, but also of the adaptation of the building to the climate, the microclimate, the topology and operational and habitual conditions.\nStudents will hence be acquainted with:\n(a) energy performance design and assessment methods and tools, as well as with measures to improve the efficiency of new and existing buildings\n(b) environmental assessment methods and tools, along with measures to reduce the buildings' environmental footprint\n(c) strategies to manage the existing building stock towards a sustainable urban environment and the application of circular economy principles.\nGeneral Competences\nApply knowledge in practice\nRetrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies\nMake decisions\nWork in teams\nWork in an interdisciplinary team\nRespect natural environment\nCourse Content (Syllabus)\nThe impact of buildings on nature: The effects of current designing, planning and construction practice. Introduction to energy efficient and bioclimatic design. Renewable energy sources in buildings: Passive and active solar systems, building integrated PVs, geothermal systems. Energy auditing and energy studies. Dynamic simulation of the building’s energy behaviour. Energy and environmental certification of buildings. Sustainability policies: The European and national legal framework, managing the building stock, setting aims for future developments." . . "Presential"@en . "TRUE" . .

"Plz note that only the fifth year ( 9th and 10 Semester ) is documented.The studies of Mechanical Engineering at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are structured as follows:\n\n1. Core Courses – Study Track Courses – Specialization Courses\n\n1.1. The 1st to the 6th semester of study (first 3 years) include exclusively Core Courses. All Core Courses are compulsory and they sum up to a total of 180 ECTS units. The Core Courses provide basic knowledge of the Mechanical Engineering studies, necessary for every student. The courses are taught through lectures and laboratory exercises.\n\n1.2. The 7th and 8th semesters of study (4th year) include Study Track Courses, which are Compulsory (Y) and Elective (E) and the total number of ECTS units, which must be obtained by each student, is 60. The students, based on the interests, are obliged to choose one of the following Tracks of Study:\n\na) Design and Structures\n\nb) Energy\n\nc) Industrial Management\n\nThe Track Courses provide advanced knowledge in special fields of the science of Mechanical Engineering.\n\n.\n\n1.3. The 9th and 10th semesters of study (5th year) include Compulsory (Y) and Elective (E) Courses. They also include the elaboration of a thesis. The total ECTS units that each student must obtain from the Courses are 30. The Specialization Courses provide further deepening of the students’ knowledge in specialized scientific areas of Mechanical Engineering with parallel development of additional abilities.\n\n1.3.1. The student chooses one of the Specializations with a corresponding statement, depending on the Track of Studies that he/she has chosen in the 4th year of studies. All the courses taken by each student must belong to the Specialization, which he /she has chosen.\n\n1.3.2. The student attends a total of 6 Courses of the Specialization he has chosen. Up to 4 of these courses may be compulsory (Y), while the rest are electives (E).\nGraduates of the Department, depending on the courses, thesis and internship they have chosen, acquire a variety of skills. In particular,\n\na) solving technological problems\nb) shaping, studying and evaluating energy systems,\nc) development of new materials, products, production and machining processes,\nd) development of industrial production organization techniques,\ne) design and analysis in environmental engineering applications,\nf) conducting experimental measurements and evaluating them in mechanical, electrical, environmental and production applications, \ng) conducting research in the science of mechanical engineering, \nh) providing advice in the wider field of mechanical engineering and applications her."@en . . .
