PRESENTATION
Energy models are changing, and emerging initiatives are focusing on energy efficiency and renewable energy. Therefore, this master’s program has been designed to integrate the key aspects of energy efficiency and the incorporation of renewable energy into engineering projects such as buildings and facilities aimed at replacing fossil fuels or generating electricity and feeding it directly into the grid.
Objectives
- Students will be able to achieve the following:
- Manage building/facility energy efficiency and renewable energy projects by comprehensively implementing all associated technical, legal, and economic aspects.
- Learn how to approach and manage building energy efficiency and renewable energy system integration projects.
- Learn and apply building energy management and renewable energy technologies.
- Conduct technical-economic studies and feasibility analyses for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects
- Learn the legal and administrative aspects associated with energy efficiency and renewable energy projects
- Calculate CO2 emissions avoided through fossil fuel replacement projects according to official methodologies
Methodology
At Educa PHAROS, we use a highly practical methodology focused on the direct application of knowledge in the student’s professional environment, combining theoretical content with real-world cases, digital tools, and support from a team of specialized instructors.
