Course Description
The Advanced Topics in Building Energy course covers innovative methods and systems for integrated design and evaluation of energy efficient buildings, developing energy-saving and cost-effective solutions for buildings and harnessing technology that is designed to reduce energy consumption and energy waste in commercial and residential buildings. Advanced building energy simulation tools types and capabilities will be introduced and will include underlying concepts, modelling inputs and analysis methods of building components such as: envelope, lighting, occupants, equipment, process loads, HVAC, service hot water systems, model building performance using energy simulation software, interpreting simulation results and troubleshooting errors, use of measured building energy data to calibrate simulation model as well as evaluation of EEMs and performing parametric analysis to identify optimal solutions.
