Exclusions
Description	This module will provide students with a firm and hands-on understanding of the science and engineering behind effective and efficient use of energy technologies, particularly related to conventional energy (e.g. fossil fuels). It will consider how resources can be minimised by reducing energy consumption, specifically by increasing efficiency of use. This will be underpinned by extensive coursework and experimental work in which the students will attempt to reduce their own home energy use by 70%. In doing so they will be instructed on energy technology, the economic environment they operate in and also the socio-political issues such as tackling energy poverty.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Compare and contrast energy sources and there use and in particular how the primary fuel source is converted to end use energy. Categorise and solve problems relating to energy efficiency. Compose a business plan for energy saving scheme, explaining both technical and socio-political needs.
