Objectives

The trainee is expected to gain in-depth knowledge about the various phases of an energy audit, design and analyze the technical and economic feasibility of energy improvement measures and establish an Energy Rationalization Plan.

Teaching Methods

The teaching methodology will focus on a presentation of the programmed contents that will be carried out in person, followed by a research-based autonomous work of the students to deepen the subjects, solve problems and carry out small projects and also some laboratory tests on the use of equipment measurement in energy auditing.

The evaluation will be based on an individual assessment in the form of mini tests distributed over the quarter on contents with a weight of 50% and an evaluation of the work / projects developed by students with a weight of 50%.
