The course has the objective to expand the candidates’ understanding and ability to combine sustainable energy design theories and real-life settings. It will deepen the understanding of theoretical and methodological frameworks to design renewable energy solutions in collaboration with stakeholders. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies will be used to gather, document, analyse and interpret data and information collected through and during the fieldwork period. The students will work in close supervision with the responsible teachers and local inhabitants to develop a comprehensive (thick) case study description as a result of the course.
