LEED Lab

Il corso è articolato in 20 moduli per un totale di 80 ore, da giugno a dicembre 2019. I primi 10 moduli forniscono i concetti base del “green building” e della certificazione di sostenibilità con specifica attenzione al protocollo LEED. I successivi 5 moduli riguarderanno una serie di aspetti legati alla stima del fabbisogno energetico degli edifici secondo le normative nazionali ed europee, le tecniche per il risparmio energetico, l’utilizzo delle energie rinnovabili negli edifici e la misura dei parametri di comfort negli edifici. Gli ultimi moduli sono dedicati alla valutazione pratica “on-site” di un edificio esistente presso il Campus universitario di Savona.
