The subject uses a practical focus in order to explain energy efficiency measures in industry and building sectors. Specifically, we will work these comptences:

* To develope the essential knowledge of energy efficiency, together with the technologies used to take advantage of it

* To coherently use the procedural knowledge associated with scientific methodology, in order to solve the problems associated to these technologies, aiming to select the optimal typologies and working parametres

* G012 - To apply the strategies of scientific methodology: analyze the problematic situation qualitatively and quantitatively, propose hypotheses and solutions using the models of Renewable Energy engineering





Likewise, these are the RESULTS OF THE TRAINING AND LEARNING PROCESS that the students will have to obtain at the end of the course in terms of KNOWLEDGE, COMPETENCES and SKILLS:



2.1.Knowledge or contents

*RCO10: The graduate will be able to identify fundamental aspects of energy efficiency and sustainability in renewable energy systems (facilities and buildings).



2.2.Competencies

*RC1: The graduate will be able to elaborate, draft and develop technical and business projects in the field of renewable energy engineering.

*RC3: The graduate will be able to apply scientific-technical knowledge for the practice of the profession of Renewable Energy Engineer, performing functions of consulting, auditing, analysis, calculation, design, construction, maintenance and operation of facilities.



2.3. Abilities or skills

*HT: Skills or abilities linked to a qualification

*HE2: The graduate will be able to assess the social, economic and environmental impact of technical solutions, taking into account their sustainability.

*HE3: The graduate will be able to interpret relevant data to make judgments, including a reflection on social, scientific or ethical issues, to carry out measurements, calculations, valuations, appraisals, appraisals, surveys, studies, reports, work plans and other similar work.

*HE5: The graduate will be able to work effectively in a constructive team, integrating skills and knowledge to make decisions.

Part 0 - Introduction and legislation

0. Objectives

1. Historical origin

2. Energy efficiency

3. Basic concepts

4. Actual legislative context (national and international)

Part 1 - Industry

1. Combined heat and power

2. Heat recovery

3. Isolation improvement

Part 2 - Buildings

1. Building envelope

2. Thermal systems in buildings

Part 3 - Industry and building integration

1. District heating

2. Other practical examples

Magistral classes will be based on the study of actual systems, analyzing the basic concepts of their performance, with a theoretical-practical focus.

Classroom practices will be used to work in groups with other classmates, based on real cases, to propose and evaluate energy efficiency measures.

Seminars will be used to share the advances of the working groups.

Computer practices will be used to learn different computer programs used to evaluate energy efficiency measures.

Extended written exam: A final theoritcal-practical exam lwill be done. The total percentage of this part in the fainal grade is 40%. The final exam needs to be passed in order to pass the subject.

Group work: Students will have to write two technical reports on energy efficiency in industry and in buildings. It will be 60% of the final grade. This is mandatory.



FINAL GRADE: EXTENDED WRITTEN EXAM (40%) + GROUP WORK (60%)

* In order to pass the subject, the extended written exam's grade should be of at least 35%. If this minimum grade is not obtain, the grade appearing itn the subject record will be that of the written exam.

NOTE: Those students that, with a justified cause (Art. 43 Normativa de Gestión para la Enseñanzas de Grado. UPV/EHU), can not take part in the mixed evaluation system, may attend a a final exam that also covers the practical part of the subject. In such a case, the student needs to inform the teacher, with at least one month in advance of the final exam date.

Article 39 of the same normative sets that the student can give up the evaluation call, with at least one month in advance of the end of the teaching period of the subject.

If the student does not attend the written exam, in any of the calls, it will be equivalent to renouncing the subject in that call, and the subject record will appear as "Not Presented".

There is no compulsory material. During the course, the teacher will upload to the egela platform the materials used in the classroom, as well as supplementary material considered of interest.
