Acquire the most advanced and up to date knowledge in the field of Building Rehabilitation and Energy Saving with a Professional Master's Degree of high qualification and educational impact"

This Professional Master's Degree effectively combines the technical and technological knowledge of projects and construction necessary to develop a project or work based on the necessary energy saving measures, whether in the field of intervention in existing buildings (Energy Rehabilitation) or new construction (Energy Saving). 

It establishes a work dynamic that enables the student to develop projects of different scales with maximum rigor analyzing the different intervention options, either through passive measures (affecting the building envelope) or based on active measures (affecting the building's systems and installations). 

The exposure of success stories that develop the objective in a clear and concise way, able to extrapolate it to future projects with maximum requirements of Energy Saving. 

In addition, the guidelines for checking the current state of the existing building under current regulations (Energy Audit), technical requirements based on the latest regulatory changes (Technical Code 2019) as well as a very precise and technical development of the intervention measures to optimize the energy demand of the building are established. 

The fundamentally practical qualification of the team that teaches the master offers a precise vision of analysis of each of the intervention measures in buildings based on their best energy performance. 

During the development of the Professional Master's Degree, the analysis of the possible measures to be developed in a Rehabilitation / Energy Saving project will be carried out based on the experience of singular works and real success cases, analyzing the different options of intervention in the energy field concerning materials, systems and installations of high energy performance.  

On the other hand, the bases for the development of cost control analysis and selection of appropriate intervention option in the development of project and work are integrated, as well as the analysis of the control of the rigor of the objective based on the quality of the construction. 

With this Professional Master's Degree in Rehabilitation and Energy Saving in Buildings you will be educated in the latest trends of the sector related to maximum Energy Saving and Sustainability, obtaining a wide knowledge of the development options and requirements in the international field.
