Indoor Environmental and Energy Engineering

An engineer specialising in Indoor Environmental and Energy Engineering is responsible for creating an ideal environment for work as well as leisure, that is, an environment that considers the need for the well-being and comfort of the individual.Construction and operation of buildings are responsible for more than 40% of the energy use and material consumption in the world today. An engineer specialising in Indoor Environmental and Energy Engineering can reduce this considerably by optimal design of the building and the building envelope, choice of materials, utilisation of different kinds of renewable energy and optimisation of the operation of the building.During the study programme in Indoor Environmental and Energy Engineering, you can work with subjects such asSimulation of indoor climateEnergy consumptionAir currentsVentilation plantsIsolationThe programme provides you with the opportunity to work with for instance energy flux in a building with an air conditioning system, ventilation and a healthy indoor environment and energy-efficient buildings.
