Overview
Key Features
Examining how net zero greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved through large scale investment in renewable and low CO2 energy sources, delivery and patterns of use. You will also study the challenges to this and gain an in-depth understanding of why rapid, effective energy solutions, energy efficiency and intelligent management of resources are vital to minimising climate change impacts.
The Sustainability in Energy Provision and Demand Management program from Centre for Alternative Technology is aimed at existing or potential decision makers, consultants and other professionals, and those with a general interest in energy-related issues of climate change.
On this course, you will examine renewable energy provision, its application and management and energy demand and management in low and zero-carbon buildings.
