Summary
Students will be acquainted with the issue of renewable energy sources. The environmental benefits of new technologies that can be successfully used for building and energy purposes. These are primarily the use of heat pumps, photothermal and photovoltaic plants, cogeneration units, wind and hydroelectric power stations, biogas stations, biomass in general. During the subject will be made paper.
