Abstract
This paper presents the learning activities of the second level Master course, ABITA – Architecture Bioecology and Technological Innovation for the Environment – that involves energy expert training in the field of energy efficiency.
The ABITA master’s course training programme is offered in Florence in Italy and covers nearly all the energy-relevant issues that can arise in public and private companies and sectors. The final output of the practical training is to achieve an elevated professionalism in the study of environmental design and energy management in buildings.
The master’s includes studies on low-energy architecture and energy efficiency measures, integration of renewable energies in buildings, building information modelling, dynamic software for energy simulations and energetic diagnosis. Master ABITA training provides a solid basis for increasing the knowledge and skills of energy managers and is developed with an emphasis on practical experiences related to the knowledge through case studies, measurement and verification of energy-efficient solutions in buildings, in the industry and in the cities.
