The two set sof curricula are as follows:

How to exploit hybridGEOTABS curriculum

This training curriculum is targeting mainly business-oriented audiences organised in 5 modules - each of them covering a different topic - with a total duration of approximately 1hr 40min.  

After the completion of this curriculum, attendees will be acquainted with hybridGEOTABS design principles and tools and understand the application of the hybridGEOTABS concept through real case studies. The curriculum also aims to familiarise the audience with the benefits that the developed systems could provide in a building, in terms of overall sustainability, IEQ, comfort and health. Additionally, they will become aware about the financial viability of the hybridGEOTABS concept and its suitability as a component in a smart city concept.

How to design and operate hybridGEOTABS curriculum

This training curriculum is organised in 9+1 modules - each of them covering a different topic - with a total duration of approximately 11 hours.

After the completion of this curriculum, attendees will be able to comprehend the hybridGEOTABS concept and understand its main advantages and challenges, along with the functionalities and operation of the different system components, gaining some insights on the application of these systems in different types of buildings. Also, they will be able to learn how to use the hybridGEOTABS tool (including hands-on exercises in module 10) and assess its outcomes, by applying it on the pre-design phase of a project or conducting a feasibility study.
