Sustainable energy management
Owner: Dr Laiz Souto
Number of students: 1-6
Formative Deadline: Friday W25
Learning Outcomes
1) Understand different sustainable energy management practices in the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of a project. 2) Conduct an energy review to identify significant energy uses and establish energy performance indicators, energy baselines, and energy targets. 3) Identify measures to improve the energy performance of a simple sustainable energy management problem.
Knowledge Requirements
For Knowledge, you should complete the “Sustainable energy management” Moodle quiz available on this unit’s Moodle page.
Application Requirements
Knowledge requirements plus LCA diagram including: (1) identification of energy performance improvements in the project setup (e.g., based on clean energy production, energy efficiency, and energy conservation measures) and (2) covering raw material extraction, processing, manufacturing, use and maintenance, and end of life in the diagram.
Synthesis Requirements
Knowledge and application requirements plus (1) quantification of energy performance improvements in the LCA diagram of your own project setup and (2) reflection on why sustainable energy management is relevant in your own project/working setup.
