Energy Use and Thermal Comfort in Buildings

Education facts

Code: TFRQ15

<p>How can we understand and predict how much energy a building will use? In this course, you will work with building performance simulations to analyse how different factors affect a building’s energy use and indoor environment.</p><p>Building simulations are an important tool in the design process for energy-efficient buildings. They allow you to analyze and predict a building’s energy consumption and indoor climate. This provides a better basis for decisions in the design process and can help reduce energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. </p><p>The course provides an introduction to building simulation tools (Building Performance Simulation, BPS) and their role in the design of energy-efficient buildings. </p><p><br/></p>

Entry requirements
