Learning Outcomes
Students will be familiar with the amount of heat needed in buildings and the factors affecting energy consumption. They will know how to determine these factors according to building regulations C3, C4, D2 and D5. Students will also know the impacts the energy efficiency directive and the building regulation, Section D3, have on them.
Student's Workload
