- Organizational units of non-teaching activities
There are 25 departments at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering:
In order to carry out scientific research and professional activities and to commercialize the results of these activities, organizational units of scientific research and professional activities have been established and operate: scientific and professional centers and research and professional laboratories:
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Belgrade is the Responsible Partner in the implementation of the project “Enhancing the Energy Management System to Scale up Energy Efficiency Investments in Public Buildings in Serbia”.
As a Responsible Partner of the project, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, through the work of the Center for Training Energy Managers and Energy Advisors, is responsible for the realization of concrete results of the project, such as the establishment of a support service for the Energy Management Information System (EMIS), the installation of measuring instruments with the necessary acquisition system that enables direct transmission of consumption data to EMIS in up to 30 buildings of the central government, implementation of trainings for energy managers for the field of energy of the public sector or for energy managers for the field of energy of buildings, development of methodology for conducting energy audits to calculate the energy characteristics of buildings, implementation of detailed energy audits and creation in EMIS of models of central government buildings or other buildings owned by republican and provincial governments or buildings under the jurisdiction of institutions for the provision of public services such as health, justice, education, culture, etc., preparation of final proposals for investments, measures to increase energy efficiency with appropriate feasibility studies and financial analysis for all buildings, and in accordance with the agreed technical, environmental and financial criteria, building the capacity of energy advisors and other key stakeholders, organizing domestic and international workshops for EMIS, etc.
Center for training energy managers and energy advisors
By decision of the Minister of Mining and Energy No. 401-00-00204/2/2015-06 dated October 19, 2015, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Belgrade from Belgrade was authorized to carry out the training of energy managers and authorized energy advisors.
For the purpose of performing this professional activity, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering established the Center for Training Energy Managers and Energy Advisors.
- Within the work of the Centers for Training of Energy Managers and Energy Advisors, training is currently being conducted for energy managers in the following areas:field of industrial energy
- area of building energy and
- field of public sector energy
As part of the implementation of the project “Improving the energy management system in order to increase investments in the energy efficiency of public buildings in Serbia”, the Center will start conducting training for energy advisors in the following areas:
- field of mechanical engineering
- field of electrical engineering and
- field of architecture.
In 2019, by the decision of the Minister of Mining and Energy, no. 401-00204/3/2015-06, published in the “Official Gazette of RS”, number 84/19 of 29 November 2019., the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Belgrade has been extended for another four years the authorization to carry out the training of energy managers and authorized energy advisors.
In 2023, by the Decision of the Minister of Mining and Energy, no. 401-00204/4/2015-06, dated 31.19.2023. of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Belgrade, the authorization to carry out the training of energy managers and authorized energy advisors was extended for another four years.
