Course context for academic year 2013-14

Eficiencia Energética. En esta materia se estudia y profundiza en el concepto de eficiencia energética definida como la reducción del consumo de energía manteniendo los mismos servicios energéticos, sin disminuir nuestro confort y calidad de vida, protegiendo el medio ambiente, asegurando el abastecimiento y fomentando un comportamiento sostenible en su uso. El sector de la construcción es clave en el consumo de energía estimándose que los edificios representan alrededor del 40% del consumo de energía, y el ahorro potencial de energía que se puede desarrollar en los mismos supera el 20%. El cambio en el marco normativo producido por aprobación de la Directiva Europea de Eficiencia Energética en Edificación, y su traslado a la legislación española, está haciendo aparecer nuevos requerimientos en el sector de la edificación en aquellos aspectos relativos al consumo de energía, iluminación, aislamiento, calefacción, climatización, agua caliente sanitaria, certificación energética de edificios o utilización de la energía solar. El objetivo de la materia es capacitar al alumno/a para el análisis de los factores que intervienen en el acondicionamiento de los edificios, su conocimiento, y la aplicación de técnicas bioclimáticas, sistemas constructivos e instalaciones que conlleven una mayor eficiencia energética en su uso. Las energías renovables, la certificación energética de los edificios y el tratamiento de aguas residuales también serán tratados en esta materia.
