We will provide your students with knowledge about the use of green energy and innovative materials in planning, constructing and maintaining a building. We will give participants insight into environmentally friendly technologies and sustainable energy production. Students will learn how to apply the “Hottgenroth Software” used by energy advisors for simulating the behavior of a building, taking into account detailed climate data and calculations of the cooling-, heating-loads and air temperature. 

The academic courses taught by our Civil Engineering professors (and other experts) are complemented by field trips to building sites, companies and public institutions, enabling students to apply their knowledge at first hand. An additional one-week excursion to southern Germany will bring participants to passive houses, the hydroelectric power plant Walchensee (renewable energy generation) and cultural highlights (traditional Bavarian festival at Tegernsee). 

Our agenda also includes a German-as-a-foreign-language-course and a variety of leisure activities prepared for all participants outside of the classroom. Students can earn up to 9 ECTS credits for this 4 week intensive-program.
