Teaching
The Unit of Energy Efficient Building always incorporates the latest findings from research and the latest developments in technology from all areas of sustainability into teaching. Energy efficiency and renewable energy in construction are central topics in the courses and excursions for civil and environmental engineering as well as architecture.
The Unit of Energy Efficient Building covers teaching in the fields of building physics, physics (introduction), thermodynamics, building services engineering, daylighting and artificial lighting as well as fire protection in technical sciences and architecture.
Bachelor's and Master's thesis, dissertation
Exciting research questions from current research projects of the unit as well as interfaculty from the Research Center Sustainable Building are available for Bachelor's and Master's thesis as well as Dissertations.
The programme is designed to meet the requirements of prospective engineers and architects at an international level. The central content of the teaching is the description of processes using methods and models from the fields of engineering and (building) physics. Here, too, digitalisation is increasingly gaining ground, and the basics are taught in the courses on modelling and simulation. By teaching both theoretical principles and application-oriented problems, students are given the tools to independently understand, analyse and solve complex problems. This prepares students to take on climate responsibility in the construction industry in the future (but also in interdisciplinary Lecture series on climate protection). In addition, the courses on energy-efficient building cover the content of certified passive house planner.
