Objectives

The professional degree"Management and Energy Efficiency of Buildings" (BEPOS or GEEB) is a training course leading to a diploma and professionalization in the field of energy management, and particularly renewable energy for the building industry. Its objective is to equip new buildings and above all to rehabilitate individual housing, buildings and tertiary buildings with a view to efficiency (rational use of energy). This specialization is not only oriented towards the design, diagnosis and advice but also the marketing, coordination, implementation and operation of innovative and economical solutions in the field of energy.

Organization

Program

The courses (450 hours) are divided into 7 teaching units (plus a scientific refresher course):

  • Energy and Environment,
  • Energy Management,
  • Thermal energy,
  • Business/English,
  • Energy production and management systems,
  • Tutored project,
  • Internship or Professional project.

The validation of the diploma allows to obtain 60 European credits (ECTS).

It is possible to follow this training in a classic way, in continuing education or in alternating contracts:
- by apprenticeship with the CFA ENSUP LR Sud de France.
- of professionalization with the SFC of the University of Montpellier.

Rhythm of the alternation: 1 week in training and 3 weeks in company, for a total of 12 weeks in training and 38 weeks in company
