Course: This is a public course for all undergraduates.
Course Background: Global warming, air pollution and energy shortages are closely-related to energy supply and demand in cities. The low-carbon transformation of cities is one of the significant approaches to solve these problems. The basic unit of low-carbon cities is the low-carbon building that includes green buildings, solar buildings, prefabricated buildings and intelligent buildings. Since the carbon emissions of building sector is remarkable, the reduction of building carbon emissions is critical to achieving the global carbon neutrality.
Main Contents: Aiming at the key methods of low-carbon cities and their basic units of low-carbon buildings, the teaching content of the course mainly includes the basic theories and technologies of green buildings, solar buildings, prefabricated buildings, intelligent buildings, and low-carbon cities. These methods can effectively reduce building carbon emissions and help achieve low-carbon buildings and cities using low-carbon technology, green materials, and artificial intelligence technology.
Course Objectives: Let students know the building methods to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality, master basic knowledge of building energy conservation, artificial intelligence, etc., and understand the technologies for the reduction of building carbon emission.
Relevant SDGs: SDG 7, SDG 9, SDG13
