Undergraduate Courses

The course provides undergraduate students with a physical and quantitative background in meteorology and atmospheric science. The course analyses the meteorological parameters and their impact on the analysis of environmental processes and problems. Moreover, the course covers the topics of radiation and heat in the atmosphere, the study of the atmospheric boundary layer and atmospheric stability.  It also refers to introductory concepts on climate and climate change. Finally, the aim of the course is to understand the importance of meteorological measurements’ assessment  in energy and environmental problems.

Upon successful completion of this course the students will acquire new knowledge and specific skills on the following subjects:

• Will be able to understand the critical features of meteorological systems, their connection to the energy and environmental systems and processes and the principles of atmospheric processes.
• Will learn the methods and techniques for analyzing meteorological data for environmental engineering applications.
• Will learn the methods and techniques for the analysis of atmospheric processes and climatic characteristics.
• Can evaluate and assess atmospheric stability and the role of atmospheric boundary layer in engineering problems.

The course introduces the students to the energy audits and energy efficiency in the building sector.

The course introduces students to methods, steps and energy audit equipment, and then analyses energy balance issues and heating/cooling loads.

Upon successful completion of the course the students will be able to:

• Collect and analyse the necessary data for the energy audit of buildings.
• Use appropriate energy balance calculation tools.
• Evaluate the parameters that affect the buildings’ energy consumption.
• Select analyse and evaluate energy efficiency scenarios.
