Global Master’s in Energy Efficient Design and HVAC Systems
Double degree
A broad specialisation in the field of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
Acquire BIM knowledge applied to building projects, a methodology that is increasingly used by the different agents involved in the life cycle of a project.
Establish workflows, consolidate and integrate the information from the construction model and the thermal facilities, analyze interferences at project level, plan the project reducing errors during execution and establish a maintenance plan for the building once executed.
Acquire a broad specialisation in the field of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), taking into account sustainability and energy efficiency by applying the market innovations and current regulations. This program is organised into two main routes, European and American, with the regulatory and calculation bases that best suit the climatology and geographical area.
