The aim of the course will be to provide the student with the skills and tools needed to evaluate the amount of heat exchange and the environmental energy balance for cooling applications of electronic systems and in the insulation and thermal management of buildings.
Particular attention will be paid to analyzing heat flows and propagation methods in an electronic system, a building or a territory. The aim will be to monitor and evaluate thermal and energy efficiency to identify waste and inefficiencies and identify improvement interventions and contribute to environmental protection.
