⚡ The Future Is Efficient: Why We Must Rethink Urban Energy
Why should we learn more about energy-efficient cities?
→ Because as urban populations grow, so does energy demand, and the way we design, power, and move through our cities will define our climate future.
📚 INHABITAT Project includes a full 9 ECTS course on Energy Efficient Cities, starting in Semester B (Winter 2025-2026).
In this module, students explore:
• Key technologies and policies behind renewable energy systems (solar, wind, bioenergy)
• Urban energy applications: heating, cooling, and electricity
• Smart transportation systems: communication protocols (V2V, V2I, V2X), autonomous driving, and fleet optimization
• AI-driven solutions for energy-efficient routing, traffic management, and public utilities
• Socioeconomic perspectives on how energy systems can shape just, sustainable cities
Why does it matter?
Because cities account for over two-thirds of global energy consumption. Designing smarter transport, cleaner energy grids, and efficient infrastructure is essential for sustainability, affordability, and resilience.
