The sustainable use of energy in buildings has become an imperative – it’s key not just to tackling climate change, but to improving the performance of facilities and the competitiveness of businesses too. Consequently, it’s important that anyone involved in the construction, manufacturing, energy, and oil and transport industries today is well-versed in the field of energy efficiency.
The University of Cape Town (UCT) Energy Efficiency and Sustainability online short course offers a holistic overview of the energy efficiency landscape and the economics of this field. Over the course of eight weeks, you’ll explore the latest developments and regulations in the energy industry, and investigate energy use in commercial and industrial contexts. You’ll also learn how to verify energy savings using industry-accepted techniques, examine how to assess the financial viability of energy-efficiency projects, and build a strong business case for interventions.
