Introduction
Why Pursue a Master's Degree in Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies?
Energy models are changing, and the emerging initiatives are settling upon the pillars of energy efficiency and renewable energies. Therefore, this Master’s program has been designed to integrate the main aspects of energy efficiency and the incorporation of renewable energies in engineering projects such as buildings and installations for fossil source replacement, or electric energy production and its direct injection into the net. The program has been subdivided into 2 major sections:
The first section includes the key energy efficiency and renewable energy aspects as applied in construction and industry.
The second section includes a technical-economic analysis of the main renewable energy sources such as solar, geothermal energy, or biomass.
