About Course
Energy is essential for life and for all living organisms. The sun, directly or indirectly, is the source of almost all the energy available on Earth.
Our energy choices and decisions affect Earth's natural systems in ways that could lead and are already leading to massive damage, so it's essential to carefully choose our energy sources and go to energy efficiency techniques: use less energy to provide the same level of energy. It is therefore a method to reduce human greenhouse gas emissions.
Efficient use of energy is achieved primarily through a more efficient technology or process. Energy efficient buildings, industrial processes and transport could reduce global energy needs by 2050 by one third and help control global greenhouse gas emissions.
Therefore, all countries are oriented towards reducing the carbon footprint of companies and encouraging efficient use of energy: energy efficiency has become an integral part of design, maintenance, and industrial production, as well as the provision of services for civil use (energy efficiency in building).
The Course offers the possibility to keep young pre-bachelor students updated on the latest developments and provide you with the tools to be requested by companies in the sector or work individually.
The Course is designed to offer a multidisciplinary training path, in which the technical and engineering component is completed by an economic financial approach. The course is mainly addressed to post-graduate students, experts and professionals involved in renewable energies activities.
