About this course
The Energy Efficiency in Buildings course is aimed at individuals (professionals and students), architects, engineers and building engineers. It would benefit individuals considering a consultancy job in the energy saving field and/or wanting to find out how to reduce energy consumption in homes and buildings to benefit from financial savings intending to learn how to install, maintain and repair biomass equipment.
There are no pre-requisites for enrolment as the course is taught at an entry level and builds up to more advanced topics on the subject area of each module. A reasonable standard of education is expected alongside a keen interest in renewable and sustainable energy, but otherwise we have no formal requirements for enrolment.
