Alternative and renewable energy policy in Europe
Orujov, Faig ; Ščasný, Milan (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
Driven by the fact that the global oil market has become extremely volatile and the EU dependence on oil continues to grow, this paper argues that with more emphasis on renewable energy and by using domestically produced alternative energy sources instead of importing foreign oil the EU Member States would drastically improve their energy security and energy independence. The study investigates both past and present trends in the EU energy sources supply and consumption patterns. Additionally, the paper considers possibilities of the renewable and alternative energy both at the current stage and future development of this sector in the EU. The research findings confirm the initial hypothesis as to whether the share of alternative and renewable energy will be sufficiently large to contribute to solving a problem of the EU energy security and independency. The role of the renewables in national energy security strategies of three EU Member States is studied and government supporting policies that enhance renewable sources development are analyzed.

Office building
Výborný, Vojtěch ; Stránská, Zuzana (referee) ; Struhala, Karel (advisor)
This master´s project deals with design of an office building nearly zero energy standard. My master´s project consists of three parts. In the first one I work on technical design of the office building. It is a three-storey building with partial basement. Vertical load-bearing system is partially made from monolithic concrete walls and partially from clay blocks walls. The horizontal load-bearing structures are made of monolithic concrete slab. All roofs are designed as flat roofs. In second part I design all technical equipment in this building. In the last part I compare three types of roof, photovoltaic power plants and evaluate their environmental impact. First type of PV power plant is made by monocrystalline solar cell, second one by polycrystalline solar cell and last one by monocrystalline solar cell with battery system. Environmental impact of these systems is evaluated in Open LCA software. All structures comply with the valid standards and regulations.

Negative Electrode For Sodium-Ion Batteries
Šimek, Antonín
This thesis is mainly focused on research of electrode materials for negative electrodesof sodium-ion batteries, which do not use lithium for their function. It is mainly focused on thesynthesis and characteristics of sodium metatitanate, which is used as active material in negativeelectrode mass.

Biomethane production in biogas plants
Matoušek, Jakub ; Miklas, Václav (referee) ; Vondra, Marek (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the production of biomethane in biogas plants. The introductory part presents the operation of the biogas plant, its inputs, components, and products. The main part of the thesis deals with the perspective of biomethane in the Czech Republic and Europe and progressive technologies for the conversion of biogas to biomethane. The basic principle, advantages and disadvantages of each upgrade method are given. Common technologies at the level of commercial readiness include high pressure water scrubbing, organic physical scrubbing, chemical scrubbing process, pressure swing adsorption and membrane separation. The mentioned methods of biogas upgrading are evaluated and compared with regard to their practical applicability in the Czech environment.

Guesthouse Zátoka
Rajchl, Filip ; Šteffek, Libor (referee) ; Ostrý, Milan (advisor)
The aim of my thesis is to design new Guest house called Zátoka near the Pozlovice dam. Thesis is divided in three parts. First is part is focused on building design and construction. Second part is focused on HVAC design and renewable energy sources. Third part is focused on advanced application of BIM in building design. Guest house is two – storey building but there is one more underground storey for sport activities which is not part of the building service, but it is part of the design. Ground floor contains three guest rooms, office, utility room and air condition room and of course wind lobby and entrance hall with stairs. In the second floor we can find four guest rooms and corridor. Heating in the building is secured by pellet boiler with storage reservoir. Ventilation is provided by two air condition units. And cooling is secured by one cooling unit on the roof. Each room has radiators and cooling distribution units and ventilation. On the roof we can find 26 photovoltaic panels. Third part is focused on digital model of the building. Each part of the model contains information and whole model is one big database of information about the building which can be used through the whole life cycle of the building.

Material history of planetary urbanization
Šana, Václav ; Bartůšek, Ondřej (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the final urbanization of the planet term from a materialistic point of view. The distribution of freshwater, energy consumption and especially agricultural food production are the basic factors which, together with logistics and demography, form fundamental drivers of material history. The "Malthusian" fear of a situation where the world's population is running out of resources accompanies contemporary rhetoric. The aim of the work is to try to find and explore solutions to the material necessities of humanity and to design organizational principles, systems, urban and architectural solutions.
