| Aim: To give the participants an insight into the prospects to utilize the energy more efficiently and thereby obtain the environmental advantages caused by lower energy consumption. This insight can be integrated into the solution of several technical or planning tasks of the kind engineers are often confronted by, or they can serve as inspiration for specialization into a few of the many technologies covered by this topic. |
| Contents: The course focuses on the consumption side. Some basic elements of energy conservation are gone through, for instance thermal insulation, control systems and lifestyles. The prospects for energy conservation in specific technologies and energy services are covered. For instance air change, lighting, cloth washing, transport of persons, cold stores, cooking, water supply, electronics and special industrial processes. System considerations are part of the course too, as are economical and environmental assessments in the form of life cycle analyses, of the systems as well as of the elements composing the systems. The group exercises may to some extent be adapted to the wishes and background of the students. |
