A 2-day course on Building Energy Efficiency was organized on 30th Sepetember and 1st October for staff and students of Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical and Power Engineering resourced by Professor Wolfgang Streicher, University of Innsbruck, Austria. Forty six staff and students attended the course, out of which fourteen were female students.
The course began with the arousing question “Why do we need shelter?” With discussion and brain storming, shelter translated to buildings. In two days, interactive discussions revolved around building aspects for improving the efficiency, basics to high end building energy simulation, mainly focusing on Building Physics, HVAC and Simulation. In course of discussion, the Professor emphasis more on the passive design buildings for cost-effectiveness and better sustainable future.
