Environmental Meteorology and Air Quality Models Dionysia Kolokotsa - undergraduate - (A+) School of Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete This course general data for the earth's atmosphere are presented and discussed involving an environmental engineer. The earth's energy balance is analyzed in combination with the greenhouse effect. Particular emphasis is placed on thermodynamic processes of the atmospheric air and on the governing equations of the movement of air masses in the atmospheric boundary layer. Furthermore, atmospheric statistic analysis is presented as well as the analysis of weather systems.
Building energy consumption evaluation Dionysia Kolokotsa - undergraduate - (A-) School of Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete Fundamentals objectives and benefits of the building energy audit. Introduction to energy regulations. Systems and instrumentation for the building energy audit. Design and installation of energy monitoring networks, fault detection and maintance. Assessment and design of the building envelope, the electrical installation and HVAC systems.
Quality Control Evangelos Grigoroudis - undergraduate - (A-) School of Production Engineering and Management, Technical University of Crete The course focuses on the tools and techniques of Statistical Quality Control and its main objective is to show how statistical methods are used in this area. This course examines the two main branches of Statistical Quality Control, i.e., sampling plans (Acceptance Sampling) and control charts (Statistical Process Control).

Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction Evangelos Grigoroudis - graduate - (A+) School of Production Engineering and Management, Technical University of Crete Service quality and customer satisfaction measurement is one of the most important issues concerning business organizations of all types, which is justified by the customer orientation philosophy and the main principles of continuous improvement of modern enterprises. The most important advantages of customer satisfaction measurement system are: • Business organizations may examine whether the provided services fulfill customer expectations. • Customer satisfaction provides an overall performance measure and a possible standard of excellence against competition for any business organization. • The critical satisfaction dimensions that should be improved are identified, as well as the ways through which this improvement may be achieved. • The personnel of the business organization is motivated to increase its productivity given that all improvement efforts, regarding the offered services, are evaluated by the customers themselves. The main purpose of the course is to present the modern service quality measurement systems and analyze the opportunities they offer in a modern competitive environment.
