PREREQUISITES
COURSE AIM
The course gives basic knowledge about Solar Collectors, Natural Heat Systems and Thermal Energy Storage. For each of these areas the technique, dimensioning and cost are dealt with. The central point is on thermal energy storage. The course is finished off with a project work in which a space heating and/or cooling system is designed.
