Gestão de Energia

Basic notions of: different energy forms; energy end uses; energy efficiency; renewable energy.

Theoretical: theoretical exposition of various matters; Case-studies presentation. Practical: Problem solving; students familiarization with energy audit´s equipment; Case-studies analysis Students have weekly voluntary support through instructor’s office hours (6 hours availability, overall).

The main aims of this course unit are: To familiarize students with the basic concepts of energy management; To know the tariff legislation; To learn the methodology, phases and expected outputs of energy audits; To help students to develop the knowledge and analytical skills needed for a successful career in the energy sector, in terms of energy policy analysis and energy management.

At the end of this course unit the learner is expected to be able: To become familiar with the concepts related to energy use and efficient use of energy; To analyse electricity bills; To know how to prepare and perform energy audits; To know to apply energy consumption rationalization plans; To investigate and choose efficient technological solutions and be able to argue with the employer or client
