Course Description
Modelling simple buildings and the concept of simulation will be the focus of this course using using simulation in the schematic design phase of building and various optimization techniques and their applications on building simulations. The students will receive a review regarding heat and mass transfer, building energy systems and an introduction to simulation and modelling. The students will explore the various steps involved in simulation, such as starting, thermal zone with open studio, construction, surface matching, zone loads, running Energy-plus software, debugging input files, running and verifying results, modifying input files according to individual projects, running first run and error-checking among other topics.
