The goal
Energy-efficient and sustainable construction is a need, vision and imperative in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the EU. The aim is to promote the principles of modern architecture from the EU and the world-wide and make an integrative design process available to students and professionals. The course uses the experience on construction of our new Faculty building, which represents innovative and modern educational space built on the principles of energy efficient design.
The outcome
Students will acquire the necessary knowledge in various fields related to energy efficiency in buildings. They will also be able to technically and economically assess and propose the necessary measures to solve the problem of efficient use of energy in buildings and to use the hardware and software technology for analyzing energy efficiency of buildings.

Seminar paper = 50 points, Final dissertation exam = 50 points.
Посебна назнака
Students are required to attend classes and pass every assessment through semester. Students from seminar work must achieve at least 50% of points and thus acquire the right to take the final exam in the form of dissertation defense. The student has passed the examination if he achieved a score of 50% or more points from each type of assessment: seminar papers and the dissertation defense .The final exam will be held in the examination period, in accordance with regulations. A student who is unjustifiably absent from classes for more than 20%, must renew course attendance next year.
