Training courses in BKH-Turkey

Training courses in BKH-Turkey

All courses consist of an in class part, practical training and self-study. Preliminary duration of courses is changed based on the number of modules taken by participants.

​Learning Outcomes
 
The general goal of the training is to train building professionals in NZEB strategies and technologies in order to accelerate the adaptation of the recast EU Energy Performance in Buildings Directive. On successful completion of the course, participants will have developed an indepth understanding of the NZEB concept as it applies in their country and around Europe, and the skills necessary to contribute to the NZEB transformation of the local building stock. Leraning outcomes based on the target groups are as follows:
 
Expected learning outcomes for the construction workers:
  • able to describe types of materials used to increase energy efficiency in buildings and can identify their impact on energy efficiency
  • are able to know local regulations and standards related to energy efficiency for existing and new buildings
  • able to understand importance of nZEB, passive house, low energy building concept and sustainability in buildings
  • able to understand importance of construction stage to build a nZEB, passive house, and low energy building
  • able to describe significant points and stages for implementation of insulation, air tightness and etc. to build a nZEB and low energy building
  • able to understand effects of active systems on building energy performance
 
Expected learning outcomes for the designers:
  • able to understand nZEB, passive house, low energy building concept and sustainability in buildings
  • able to describe design and construction stages of nZEB and low energy building
  • can identify methods for investigation and evaluation necessary to manage a low energy building
  • can explain passive design and active measures to increase energy efficiency in buildings
  • are able to know local regulations and standards related to energy efficiency for existing and new buildings
  • can describe the requirements and skills needed to plan, execute and manage a building project in cooperation with an interdisciplinary design team and stakeholders;
 
Expected learning outcomes for the non-specialists:
  • can understand importance of interdisciplinary design and plan to execute and manage a low energy building project
  • able to define local procedures and regulations for a design and construct a low energy building
  • able to explain rules in certifying buildings and can list available methods used for certifying buildings
  • can list laws and standards and explain the ways of their application with regard to low energy building
  • can understand criteria for quality of the building project
  • can list the elements for life cycle assessment of the building

TOPICS

Training Module 1

 
Training module 1 - Basic module
 
The basic module shows the general nZEB concept and the principles of a near zero energy building: applied physics basics, thermal insulation, materials and construction. Professionals responsible for building design and construction sector in Turkey needs to fully familiarize themselves with the nZEB definition and concept.

Proposed topics in Module 1
 
Definition of nZEB
  • National legislation, standards and regulations related to energy efficiency in buildings, passive house and nZEB
  • Basic building physic
  • Heat transfer mechanisms
  • Thermal bridge in buildings
  • Thermal insulation materials
  • Construction techniques for thermal insulation
  • Solar control
  • Ventilation and air tightness
  • Thermal comfort
  • Introduction to renewable energy technologies

Training module 2 - Advanced module
 
This module gives detailed information about technical aspect of nZEB design such as use of renewable energy and energy efficient HVAC systems. 

Proposed topics in Module 2
 
Principles of bioclimatic design
  • Introduction to passive house concept
  • Passive and active solar systems for heating and cooling
  • Energy efficient HVAC systems
  • Renewable energy technologies
  • Energy efficient building materials
  • Natural lighting,

Training module 3 -Retrofitting towards nZEB

​This module investigates the existing building stock and the possibility of its conversion into nZEB.

Proposed topics in Module 3

  • Energy audit techniques
  • Definition of renovation strategies
  • Passive and active renovation solutions
  • Application of renewable energy solutions
  • Energy efficient building components: windows and door
  • Life cycle cost assessment 

Training module 4–nZEB simulation module
 
This module shows several simulation tools for the design of nZEB and renovation of existing buildings.

Proposed topics in Module 4
 
Introduction to building energy simulation
  • Current simulation  tools
  • Practical application of simulation tools
  • Understanding simulation results and errors

Training module 5 -Preparation of funding schemes

This module includes financing energy efficiency issues and evaluates local opportunities for financing nZEB.

Proposed topics in Module 5

  • Available funding mechanisms and incentives
  • Practical investment / calculation exercise
​
Training module 6–Practice
 
This is another mandatory module and covers practical training for all target groups and explains their importance in ensuring the successful integration and operation of specific systems in nZEB. This module includes in particular the ability to apply academic and professional knowledge in the practice environment as well as to integrate the knowledge gained during the practical training into the professional, supervisory and theoretical discourses
​
Proposed topics in Module 6

  • The major components in nZEB
  • Implementation stages of several systems
