3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The Technical Building Code includes the provision of renewable energy installations in the building. Thus, sanitary hot water production (DHW) installations with solar thermal energy are mandatory in all types of buildings that have DHW consumption and, depending on the size and use of the building, the production of electrical energy with photovoltaic solar installations.
On the other hand, as of the approval of the RD 47/2007 and the subsequent modification and update with the RD 235/2013, the basic procedures have been established for the certification of the energy efficiency of new buildings as well as of existing buildings . With the last royal decree, it is mandatory to carry out the certification of the energy efficiency of buildings at the project, finished building and existing buildings.
This normative reality comes from European directives which include the need to reduce the energy consumption of buildings, in order to reduce the environmental impact of their use, as well as to minimize the economic cost in certain types of services (heating, sanitary hot water, etc.).
With this background, this subject aims to cover these new challenges that society imposes on the Building Engineer in terms of knowledge of renewable energy and certification of the energy efficiency of buildings.

According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:During the development of the subject a score of 0 to 10 points will be obtained in each of the following activities: the Oral Presentation of Themes (POT), the Energy Certification (CE), the Technical Project of a Solar Thermal Installation (PTST) and the Technical Project of a Photovoltaic Solar Installation (PTSF).
The previous grades will be saved for the ordinary and extraordinary calls.
The Final Rating (CF) will be given by the following expression: CF = 0.50 * CE + 0.10 * POT + 0.30 * PTST + 0.10 * PTSF
In case of not obtaining the final grade CF = 5.0 points, the ordinary examination will consist in making a memory of an energy certification of a new, existing or commercial building. -
Non-continuous evaluation:The student, who justifiably cannot attend the training activities regularly, must communicate it to the lecturer of the subject at the beginning of the semester and may carry out the activities and present them in the ordinary or extraordinary exams period, at a time agreed with the professor.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The Final Rating (CF) will be given by the following expression: CF = 0.50 * CE + 0.10 * POT + 0.30 * PTST + 0.10 * PTSF
In case of not obtaining the final grade CF = 5.0 points, the ordinary examination will consist in making a memory of an energy certification of a new, existing or commercial building.
In case of not obtaining the final grade CF = 5.0 points, the ordinary examination will consist in making a memory of an energy certification of a new, existing or commercial building.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
