Part of a YH programme at TUC Yrkeshögskola. This course cannot be applied for on its own. Programme code: ENI25STO.
The course provides basic knowledge of building technology, building physics and applied mathematics with a focus on energy technology. You learn how a building's construction and choice of materials affect energy use, power demand and indoor environment. Through real-world cases you practise making energy calculations and applying physical and mathematical methods in the professional role. The course is part of TUC's YH programme in energy technology.
Duration: 6 weeks
