Course Overview

Netherlands’ leading technological academic institution, the Delft University of Technology presents before you the Zero-Energy Design: an approach to make your building a sustainable programme. The course curriculum features content emphasising the need for implementing active and passive measures to reduce energy consumption in buildings. The seven-week-long training from edX entails a weekly commitment of four to six hours from candidates.

The curriculum focuses extensively on zero-energy designs through thermal insulation, sun shading, heat pumps, photovoltaic panels, and more. Students who want to pursue the edX Zero-Energy Design online programme must be in the first year of pursuing a bachelor’s degree in any technical study. Learners will access various real-life case studies of buildings with zero energy climate concepts.

Candidates will master the art of erecting energy-efficient buildings in different climates. Applicants who finish the Zero-Energy Design: An Approach to Make Your Building Sustainable online certification course and pay a nominal charge will get a verified edX accreditation signed by their instructors. The intermediate-level programme is self-paced and allows students to learn through lectures with video transcripts in English. The two options to enrol in this programme are paid with the certificate and free audit. In the free audit mode, the candidates can get access to the course only for a limited period.

The Syllabus

Introduction
Analysing the energy consumption of selected buildings

Analyse the local climate and choose passive measures to reduce the energy demand, like thermal insulation and sun shading.

Overview of active measures to reduce the energy demand, like demand-controlled heating and ventilation.

Overview of the opportunities to reuse energy flows in buildings, like heat recovery from ventilation air and warm waste water

Overview of the opportunities to produce heat and electricity in the building, like PV-systems, ground source heat pumps.

Apply all the measures from the previous weeks in an integrated net zero energy concept for the selected building
