SMART CITY AND NET ZERO

By the end of this decade, buildings in many countries in the world should have almost zero energy consumption. Since the achievement of such planning is associated with highly significant technical and economic issues which must be addressed during the design and construction of buildings, there is an increased need for automatically rapid and efficient training of all involved architects and engineers in the related field. The course will explore the technical challenges of attaining net zero standards and the planning of smart cities.

It is well known that by the end of this decade all new buildings in the world should have almost zero energy consumption. Since the achievement of such planning is associated with highly significant technical and economic issues which must be addressed during the design and construction of buildings, there is an increased need for automatically rapid and efficient training of all involved engineers and scientists in the related fields.
