  1. Course Description (Syllabus)

  2. Subject: Energy and water savings • 1.The objectives of the course • To built the knowledge and skills of tradespeople and professionals to support improved energy efficiency practices, products and services. • To stimulate new energy efficiency jobs and add energy efficiency skills to existing jobs by supporting innovation, workforce development and sustainable business growth. • Description of different distribution methods and means related to different methods of energy and water saving • 2. Competences • To be able to plan and calculate the amount of needed materials; • To be able to understand and to resolve technical problems which could appear during the process • To be able to organize the collection, the storing and elimination of wastes;

  3. 3.Course Description • The course covers: • up-to-date information, statistics and data on energy and water savings • how to effectively deliver advice that customers will act on - key competencies and best practices • theoretical and practical exercises. • The courses will cover the key measures in energy efficiency: • Climate change • Insulation • Heating systems • Heating controls • Appliances • Consumer electronics • Lighting • Renewable technologies • Grants and discounts • Personal transport • Water efficiency • Housing types • Building regulations and planning law.

  4. 4. Course Requirements • General Certificate of Education • Basic knowledge in the field of environmental studies. • 5.Text, Readings, Materials used • The module includes class room teaching and field work. Field experience is one of the most effective learning tools for environmental concerns. This moves out of the scope of the text book mode of teaching into the realm of real learning in the field, where the teacher merely acts as a catalyst to interpret what the student observes or discovers in his/her own environment. Course material provided by instructors for classroom teaching and field activities be utilized.

  5. 6. Grading Method Evaluation form: Written Exam Grades are according to the national evaluation system.

  6. Subject: Green (or sustainable) packaging • 1.The objectives of the course • to provide the basics of green packaging, sustainability • how to use the recycled packaging materials • description of using bio-polymers; renewable sources and biodegradable sources • to know what life cycle assessment means • to provide outlooks for the future • 2. Competences • To be able to understand and to resolve technical problems which could appear during the process • To be able to organize the collection, the storing and elimination of wastes; • To be able to organize the recycling of byproducts

  7. 3.Course Description • Green Packaging is course that provides a comprehensive review of sustainable packaging solutions, and how it affects various applications. This course reviews the following: • Recycled materials (bio-based renewable or non-renewable), which encourages waste reduction and the conservation of resources; • Post-consumer recovered materials supports an ethic of stewardship, supports the development of markets, and is an essential part of developing near closed loop systems. • Bio-based renewable materials from well-managed sources reduces dependence on non-renewable resources, uses current photosynthesized carbon to create raw materials that have the potential to be greenhouse gas neutral, and encourages more sustainable management of these resources. • Bio-degradable (compostable) materials that can be returned to the earth, decomposing into natural byproducts.

  8. Content: • 1. Use of minimal materials – reduced packaging, reduced layers of packaging, lower mass (product to packaging ratio), lower volume • 2. Logistics efficiency (through complete life cycle) – cube utilization, tare weight, enablement of efficient transportation • 3. Energy efficiency, total energy content and usage, use of renewable energy • 4. Recycled content – as available and functional • 5. Recyclability – recovery value, use of materials which are frequently and easily recycled, reduction of materials which hinder recyclability of major components • 6. Reusability of packaging – repeated reuse of package, reuse for other purposes • 7. Use of renewable resources in packaging • 8. Use of biodegradable materials – when appropriate and do not cause contamination of the recycling stream • 9. Avoid the use of materials toxic to humans or the environment • 10. Effects on atmosphere/climate – ozone layer, greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane), volatile organic compounds • 11. Water use, reuse, treatment, waste • 12. Worker impact: occupational health, safety, clean technology • 13. Impact of emissions from food waste and spoilage

  9. 4. Course Requirements • General Certificate of Education • No prerequisites are required. • 5.Text, Readings, Materials used • As this course is Instructor-led the course material provided by instructors for classroom teaching and field activities be utilized.

  10. 6. Grading Method Evaluation form: Written and oral exam Grades are according to the national evaluation system.
