More about this course

Increasing energy efficiency not only helps individuals and organisations lower operating costs, but it also reduces carbon emissions.
On this six-week course from Taipei Medical University, you will develop your knowledge of sustainable building and energy-saving technology to understand the importance of energy conservation.
You will explore the basic laws of thermodynamics before moving onto energy use from different perspectives. Then, you will be introduced to practical case studies to help you understand future trends in sustainable building and energy development.
To help you understand the problems and opportunities arising from energy use, you will delve into its different types such as nuclear and renewable.
Within this, you will explore the relationship between energy consumption and the environment to understand how it is contributing to climate change.
You will explore energy efficiency from a variety of contexts such as how an air conditioning system can have an energy-saving design. You will also explore different energy efficient building designs such as sunshades and passive heating.
Next, you will discover the energy efficiency codes you may need to follow in your country.
Finally, you will delve into the use of wind energy to understand why we need it, its challenges, and how to make use of wind energy in compact urban areas.
You will then explore the future emerging technologies in the wind power sector as well as the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy.
By the end, you will have the knowledge to confidently discuss sustainable building and energy efficient development.
