This course focuses on renewable energy utilization, district heating and cooling system and smart community as urban or district energy systems, and introduces their mechanism and advanced cases. Students are given homework at the first class, and present their findings at the last class.
The aim of this course is to teach students to understand a role of energy supply systems in urban or district planning.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the mechanisms of renewable energy utilization, district heating and cooling system and smart community.
2) Make a basic urban planning in consideration of urban energy systems.
