Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

EE1506 (P212-0058, P212-0060) Energy system technology / Renewable energies, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2022 , semester 5, mandatory course
UI-T-PBE Environmental Technologies, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2021 , semester 5, mandatory course
UI-T-PBE Environmental Technologies, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2023 , semester 5, mandatory course
UI-T-PBE Environmental Technologies, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2025 , semester 5, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Marc Deissenroth-Uhrig
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Marc Deissenroth-Uhrig

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will:
- be able to describe the structure of decentralized energy systems and their integration into buildings or into a local or district heating network
- be able to evaluate the energy process, from decentralized energy conversion, transport and storage to consumption characteristics with regard to economic and ecological aspects
- be able to calculate heating and ventilation heat requirements and the heat load of a building in accordance with EnEV
- be able to plan and calculate systems, plan projects and evaluate the energy and economic efficiency of decentralized energy systems on the basis of physical and technical principles
- be able to independently familiarize themselves with a technology for decentralized energy supply, identify the respective advantages and disadvantages and communicate this knowledge to third parties
