Objectives
GENERAL OBJECTIVE:
MODULE 1:
THE COURSE AIMS TO: I) LEARN THE REGULATORY, CHARACTERIZATION AND MEASUREMENT ELEMENTS OF TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING POLLUTANTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND AIR QUALITY; II) ACQUIRE THE TOOLS USEFUL FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE DISPERSION OF EMISSIONS IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND FOR THE CREATION OF A MONITORING PLAN; III) LEARN THE OPERATIONAL AND DESIGN ELEMENTS OF EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION TREATMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEMS.
MODULE 2:
THE COURSE AIMS TO: I) LEARN THE THEORETICAL, TECHNICAL AND REGULATORY ELEMENTS REGARDING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE (GHG, GREEN HOUSES), RENEWABLE ENERGY (TRADITIONAL AND ALTERNATIVE), CERTIFICATION OF ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL (APE, LEED, ITACA) AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS; II) ACQUIRE ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTING TOOLS (LCA, LCT, CARBON FOOTPRINT, ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT); III) LEARN OPERATIONAL AND SYSTEM DESIGN NOTIONS
AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
MODULE 1:
THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE FOR MODELING THE DISPERSION OF POLLUTANTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND FOR THE ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE MOST SUITABLE TECHNOLOGICAL AND MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR THE TREATMENT AND CONTROL OF EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION.
MODULE 2:
THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE: I) FOR THE MEASUREMENT, EVALUATION AND CERTIFICATION OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND THE ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION (REGULATIONS, ENERGY, PRESSURES, IMPACTS, CLIMATE); II) TO BE ABLE TO BE MULTIDISCIPLINARY THROUGH A HOLISTIC AND PROACTIVE APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
MODULE 1:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO MODEL THE DISPERSION OF POLLUTANTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND TO IDENTIFY THE BEST TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE CREATION OF GASEOUS EMISSIONS TREATMENT AND AIR QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEMS.
MODULE 2:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO CHARACTERIZE AND EVALUATE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY, MEASURE THE ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS, MANAGE RENEWABLE ENERGY, CERTIFY GHG EMISSIONS, DRAW UP THE INITIAL CONTEXT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS, S TURN THEM INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITIES AND DEVELOP MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES, INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATIONAL MODULES, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MANUAL, ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY, SYSTEM REGISTER AND OPERATIONAL MODULES.

INDEPENDENT JUDGMENTS:
MODULE 1:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS AND TOOLS TO MEASURE, MODEL AND MONITORING GASEOUS POLLUTANTS AND TO PRELIMINARY DESIGN A TREATMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEM, BASED ON THE CONTEXT UNDER CONSIDERATION.
MODULE 2:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO ANALYZE THE PROCESSES OF AN ORGANIZATION AND/OR A PROJECT FROM AN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POINT OF VIEW IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE THE SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND THEIR IMPACTS, ADOPTING THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
MODULE 1:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO EXPOSE, WITH APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY, THE ACQUIRED SKILLS AND PRESENT AND DISCUSS THE PROJECT SOLUTIONS EVEN IN A GROUP.
MODULE 2:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: I) INTERVIEW AT VARIOUS LEVELS WITH THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING AN ORGANIZATION; II) ORALLY EXPLAIN THE ARGUMENTS ON THE BASIS OF THE ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY OF WORKS AND ORGANIZATIONS, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORIZATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS.

LEARNING ABILITY:
MODULE 1:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNICAL-MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS ACQUIRED IN DIFFERENT METHODS AND CONTEXTS THAN THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE MOST SUITABLE OPTIONS FOR THE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF INTEREST.
MODULE 2:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT THAN THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, AND EXPLAIN THE TOPICS COVERED USING MATERIALS DIFFERENT THAN THOSE PROPOSED.
Prerequisites
THE EXAM DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR PREPAREDEUTICS. FOR THE PROFITABLE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SET OBJECTIVES, KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL PHENOMENA AND IMPACTS AND TO ENVIRONMENTAL PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY IS SUGGESTED.
Contents
THE COURSE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MODULES, NAMED "CONTROL OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION" AND "SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION".
MODULE 1- AIR POLLUTION CONTROL, 60 HOURS
•INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE (2 HOURS);
• REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IN THE SECTOR OF CONTROL OF EMISSIONS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AND AIR QUALITY (3 HOURS);
•TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING POLLUTANTS (7 HOURS);
• CHARACTERIZATION OF THE STATE OF AIR QUALITY (5 HOURS);
• CHARACTERIZATION OF EMISSIONS SOURCES (5 HOURS);
•METEOROLOGY (5 HOURS);
•PHENOMENA OF DISPERSION OF POLLUTANTS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE (10 HOURS);
• MODELS FOR THE ESTIMATION OF THE DISPERSION OF POLLUTANTS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE (8 HOURS);
• TREATMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR EMISSIONS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AND AIR POLLUTION (10 HOURS);
• AIR QUALITY MONITORING AND CONTROL PLANS (5 HOURS).

MODULE 2- SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION, 60 HOURS
•INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE (2 HOURS);
• ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE CHANGES< (5 HOURS):
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. THE CLIMATE. CLIMATE-ALTERING GASES. THE WATER ENERGY LINK (WATER ENERGY NEXUS).
• ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTING TOOLS (8 HOURS):
THE ECOLOGICAL FOOPRINT. THE CARBON FOOTPRINT. THE LCA. THE LCT.
• ALTERNATIVE AND CONVENTIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGIES (15 HOURS):
FORMS AND ENERGY SOURCES. THE HYDROELECTRIC PLANT. THE WIND PLANT. THE THERMAL AND THERMODYNAMIC SOLAR SYSTEM. THE PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM.
• ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION (15 HOURS):
THE ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE (EPA). THE LEED SYSTEM. THE ITACA PROTOCOL.
• ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (EMS) (15 HOURS):
THE DEMING CYCLE. THE INITIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS AND THE CONTEXT ANALYSIS. UNI EN ISO14001. THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THE EMAS REGISTRATION.
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES LESSONS (80 HOURS/8 CFU) AND EXERCISES, IN THE CLASSROOM AND/OR LABORATORY, AND TECHNICAL VISITS (40 HOURS/4 CFU). DURING THE LESSONS, STUDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE PROPOSED REASONINGS AND DISCUSSIONS WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF ENCOURAGING THEIR ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE LESSON. IN THE CLASSROOM EXERCISES A THEORETICAL ACTIVITY PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE IS ILLUSTRATED AND DEVELOPED. PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES ON TOPICS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE ARE ILLUSTRATED AND CARRIED OUT IN THE LABORATORY EXERCISES AND TECHNICAL VISITS. THE COURSE DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR THE OBLIGATION OF ATTENDANCE TO ACCESS THE PROFIT EXAM.

Verification of learning
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF AN ORAL TEST HAVING THE AIM OF UNDERSTANDING THE ACTUAL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SET EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES BY THE STUDENT. THE ORAL INTERVIEW WILL INCLUDE THEORETICAL, TECHNICAL AND APPLICATIONAL QUESTIONS ON THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE. THE PROPOSITION, DISCUSSION AND CARRYING OUT OF REAL EXAMPLES WILL BE USED TO VERIFY THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OF UNDERSTANDING, AS WELL AS THOSE OF A COMMUNICATION TYPE IN THE TOPICS COVERED BY THE COURSE.
THE FINAL EVALUATION WILL BE EXPRESSED IN THIRTY.
THE MINIMUM ASSESSMENT LEVEL (18) IS ASSIGNED WHEN THE STUDENT HAS SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THEORETICAL, TECHNICAL AND APPLICATIVE TOOLS AND SHOWS A SUFFICIENT ABILITY TO USE THEM IN THE STUDY CONTEXT.
THE MAXIMUM LEVEL (30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES EXCELLENT AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS AND HAS A CONSIDERABLE ABILITY TO USE THEM IN THE STUDY CONTEXT.
THE HONOR IS GIVEN WHEN THE CANDIDATE SHOWS EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE OF METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS AND SHOWS REMARKABLE KNOWLEDGE OF LANGUAGE AND INDEPENDENT PROCESSING CAPACITY EVEN IN CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED BY THE TEACHER.
THERE ARE ONE TEST ON THE FIRST MODULE AND ONE ON THE SECOND MODULE, BOTH ORAL.
THE FINAL MARK WILL RESULT FROM THE AVERAGE OF THE MARKS ASSIGNED TO EACH TEST, REFERRING TO THE SPECIFIC MODULE.
Texts
EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND COURSE BOOKLETS AVAILABLE ONLINE TO ALL STUDENTS AFTER REGISTRATION ON THE SPECIAL CLASSROOM PORTAL. THE LINK AND REGISTRATION METHODS ARE PROVIDED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE COURSE AND AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME BY SENDING A SPECIAL REQUEST BY EMAIL TO THE COURSE TEACHER.
