Nowadays, we can’t really picture our lives without energy.
It is simply impossible but it doesn’t always have a positive effect on our planet.
So we, the future engineers, must ask ourselves how can we incorporate all our knowledge
into improving the energy flow in our buildings and surroundings thus fighting against global warming?
Let’s help heal the world and make it a greener and healthier place for everyone!
Come aboard and join us in the beautiful city of Ghent to explore the possibilities of the energy
transition to a more sustainable future through interesting lectures and company visits. Both building
physics such as cooling and heating systems, and sustainable energy production will be addressed in this
course. We have a team of passionate teachers ready who are excited to explain every little detail!
