Environmental certification and sustainability, 20 YH credits, gives knowledge of environmental certifications in the energy sector and the differences between them, for example Miljöbyggnad. You get an overall picture of energy and sustainability issues and learn to carry out calculations and assessments for different certifications, including basic LCA. The course is part of TUC's YH programme in energy and property.
The purpose of the course is to give advanced knowledge of certifications of energy management systems, services and buildings, such as ISO 50001 and Miljöbyggnad. The course gives an overall picture of today's energy and sustainability issues and the challenges to come. Students should know the development trends in energy efficiency and sustainability, and how to update and adapt their work to keep up with developments in the industry and reach set goals. The course gives in-depth knowledge of current legislation, directives, regulations and other policy instruments, as well as knowledge of which bodies, organisations and authorities are responsible for them, e.g. the EU, Energimyndigheten and Boverket. Students also gain knowledge of the EU directive on the energy performance of buildings and environmental legislation, and what an energy inspection involves.
