Study programme Energy Systems in the Built Environment (in English)

Graduates of the Energy Systems in the Built Environment study are interdisciplinary specialists in energy and building performance. Their professional activities stem from acquired expertise and are primarily focused on the built environment, including single buildings, building complexes, housing estates, and entire cities, with integrated energy infrastructure. During their studies, students acquire advanced, interdisciplinary knowledge of the engineering of physical processes in the built environment, enabling them to analyse, assess, and improve energy efficiency towards reduce environmental impact. They are familiar with modern methods for assessing building energy efficiency (building performance), techniques and tools for analysing cities, buildings, and building technical systems (building performance simulation), city and building solutions (smart cities and sustainable buildings), and broadly defined energy management methods in the built environment (energy management). They possess the skills to apply advanced methods and tools, including programs for building performance simulation and interactions in the built environment. They can pursue professional careers in areas related to energy efficiency, environmental certification, and environmental

protection, requiring knowledge of simulation tools, the latest technologies, and environmental assessment methods. They can serve as energy experts, advisors and coordinators for all types of engineering projects, requiring knowledge of process engineering, environmental engineering, building physics, electrical engineering, and automation. Graduates are prepared to work in industry, public administration, consulting companies, design offices, and any field of the modern energy sector. They can also work as independent energy specialists, serving as consultants, auditors, or certification experts in the broadly defined construction industries.
