Slides0-20
Duration30min + 15min
This training introduces the hybridGEOTABS concept and its main benefits and challenges, providing insights into the technical principles underlying the concept and the design.
The curriculum is organised in 9+1 modules - each of them covering a different topic - with a total duration of approximately 11 hrs. 
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.
