Building Energy Performance Simulation and Analysis

Education facts

Code: ABY22W

Building energy simulation is the focus of this course. It introduces building performance simulation (BPS) by covering different approaches to BPS calculations and simulation set-up (such as the selection of appropriate parameters and boundary conditions). It continues with a review of simulation strategies and quality control techniques that assist in an understanding of the limitations and advantages of different BPS tools. This understanding will help students to select the most appropriate tool for a given simulation purpose. Finally, the student conducts a case study analysis for a selected building through load calculation, system simulation and building energy simulation. Through this study, the student gains valuable experience with building energy modeling, and learns how to analyse, interpret and present the results.
