Course objectives:
The course aims at educating the Graduate students in design of sustainable energy and mobility systems and at their assessment based on environmental, energy and economic criteria. Special emphasis is put on the sustainable management of environmental impacts, monitoring and targeting systems, noise control, utilization of alternative fuels in transportation (biofuels, electricity). Furthermore, to renewable management and energy saving methods (regional-local energy planning, sustainable management of natural resources, Life Cycle Analysis), Βiofuels (use for building thermal uses, estimation of the technical and economically available potential), Solar cooling (design of active solar acclimatization systems, technical & economic assessment), environmental Impact assessment form Energy systems; Assessment of renewable energy application under uncertainty.
