Learning outcomes
The course deals with the issues of building energy balances, semi-stationary and dynamic analyses, summer and winter heat loads, heat flows through opaque and transparent envelopes. Simulation methods are studied in relation to the dynamic properties of building systems, for which energy analyzes are performed. A part of the course deals with examples of analysis on building systems.
Course contents
Models for building energy simulation: from semistationary to dynamic models.
Heat and mass transfer laws, thermal nodes network, balance equations,
Understanding Input data. Define Climatic data
Introduction to Modelling of lighting, occupants, equipment, process loads, HVAC systems and service hot water systems.
Define control logics and scheduled activities
Interpret simulation results and troubleshoot errors
Analise results: temperature profiles, thermal loads, energy demands and consumptions, comfort conditions
How To use measured building energy data to calibrate simulation model.
Evaluate EEMs and perform parametric analysis to identify optimal solutions
Readings/Bibliography
the teacher will provide presentations slides of the course and electronic copies of technical articles including course related conference proceedings and journal manuscripts; book chapters; and handouts. These can be accessed in the Resources folder of the e-learning website for the course
Teaching methods
Theoretical description and discussion. DesignBuilder software will be used during course (instruction for free licence will be done during course).
students should post comments, doubt and answers regarding modeling issues
Assessment methods
Presentation of a case study: modelling approach and data input and results discussion. Students will be evaluated on their acquired modeling skills and autonomy in interpreting the results
Teaching tools
DesignBuilder software will be used during course (instruction for free licence will be done during course).
