General description

Energy efficiency and renewable energy… Hmm many politicians, scientist, engineers and people talk about it, but do you know what really stands behind this fancy name? Do you know why they talk so much about it? Do you know why you should thermally isolate your house or not? Do you know if most of your money is spend for heat or cooling? Do you know how many types of renewable energy systems there are? And another interesting question - have you been in Sofia before? If you have all NO’s, than apply and BEST Sofia can help you get YES’s.

This course will teach you how to optimize you bills for thermal and power energy and the different ways to do it. The basic understanding of how the systems work. You will also learn how to have fun in Sofia, you will meet a lot of fun people, have many team buildings, interesting lectures and parties.

So don’t hesitate and apply, because if you don’t someone else will!

BEST wishes from Sofia.
