Learning unit contents
Description of the teaching unit:
The course examines the main energy flows with the objective of quantifying and identifying the environmental impacts all along the flows, from the resource extraxtion to the management of the wastes. Environmental impacts include the analysis of the interaction between the energy processes and the climate
Table of contents:
The course includes two parts:
- Climate: caracterisation; physical processes; interaction between energy flows and climate; measurement of the climate; prospective and climate change
- Energy: Introduction and definitions; caracterisation of energy flows; measurement of energy flows; energy management: evaluation tools of enerfy systems; prospectives about energy flows
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student will have a knowledge of the main energy flows and their environmental impacts. He will have a knowledge of the metrological aspects of the thermal energy flows and the meteorological variables. He will be able to understand and interpret a multicriteria analysis as well as a life-cycle analysis applied to energy processes
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
