Acquiring knowledge of energy management in buildings. Developing skills for: systematic study of energy buildings, energy systems study and role and significance individual energy systems study in total building energy, evaluation of energy systems impact on business results and cost of staying in a building. Achieving the ability to study building functionality and energy needs, volume and expences for meeting the needs for final energy sources and establishing energy flow control in a building.

Fundamental knowledge of energy management issues in buildings. Ability to independently solve practical and theoretical problems using scientific methods and procedures in the field of energy management in buildings. Gaining creative abilities and methods for understanding: the relation between energy flows and functional systems in buildings, the impact of energy on the building costs, their control, and the possibility of reducing consumption. Developing a creative and independent judgment of the problem.

A building with its structure and energy infrastructure, whose aim is to meet final energy needs, make integral unity. Total building energy efficiency depends on the energy efficiency of the whole sturcture, relationship between individual parts, systems and subsystems in the building. Therefore subject strucutre includes building as a whole, primarely the surface and all heating, cooling and ventilation systems, supply systems for energy, hot and cold water, etc, with the aim to encrease energy efficiency and reduce energy costs for building residents.

Lectures, independent study and research work, consultations. Lectures are held in combined way. Theoretical part is presented in lectures and it is followed by appropriate exampled contributing easier understanding of the subject content. Students expand knowledge through study and research work, studying of scientific journals and other literature. In cooperation with professor, student is enabled or independently write scientific papers.
