Description
Energy efficiency is at the heart of sustainable building design. In this course, you’ll discover how to make buildings more comfortable, healthier, and less energy-hungry — step by step .

Have you ever wondered why some buildings stay warm in winter and cool in summer — without consuming much energy?

This course reveals the secrets behind smart building design and shows how simple principles can lead to big savings.

We start with the fundamentals: you’ll understand how heat escapes through walls, roofs, and windows, and how to identify and reduce thermal losses. Then, you’ll learn the science behind insulation, airtightness, and ventilation, discovering how to keep indoor air fresh while minimizing wasted energy.

We’ll also dive into thermal bridges, window performance, moisture control, and the principles of efficient heating and cooling systems. Each topic is illustrated with clear visuals and real-world examples to make complex concepts easy to grasp.

Whether you’re a student, professional, or simply passionate about sustainable living, this course will give you the knowledge and confidence to create buildings that are energy-smart, eco-friendly, and comfortable all year round.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to analyze, optimize, and design energy-efficient buildings that save both energy and money — while improving comfort and sustainability.

Who this course is for:
- Students and professionals in energy engineering, architecture, or building design who want to strengthen their knowledge of energy efficiency.
- Sustainability enthusiasts looking to understand how buildings can save energy while improving comfort.
- Homeowners and builders interested in reducing energy bills and creating healthier, more efficient homes.
- Anyone curious about thermal insulation, ventilation, airtightness, and sustainable construction principles.
