The teaching quality on the Low Energy Building Services Engineering programme is excellent as I am taught by some of the best professors in their field. Professionals from the industry have come in to give us talks and seminars, which has been really beneficial. We have access to practical labs where we use the equipment for conducting experiments and additional learning. A vast section of reading material is found in the library that supports our research. All these facilities have enhanced my learning experience and provided me with a wonderful opportunity to gain knowledge from the best.
Our professors go out of the way to help us if we need additional guidance with any subject. The programme director, Dr Mahroo Eftekhari, is one of the friendliest and welcoming people I’ve ever come across and always inspires us to do our best. I have received encouragement and support at all the times and felt very comfortable in reaching out to all my professors when needed. Their replies are very prompt and the School hosts various events for the students to participate in and mingle with others.
We had the opportunity to participate in the ASHRAE competition, where we employed new methods of low energy techniques to make a building more energy efficient, and I am a part of the team that represented Loughborough University on a global scale. Our team got selected from the East Midlands region to go to the next level. I think it is a very honourable opportunity given to me and I consider it as one of my highest achievements.
I am also doing my dissertation on 'Thermal Comfort and Ventilation Systems in Commercial Buildings in India' under the supervision of the programme director, Dr Mahroo Eftekhari.
