Assignment 1 consists of modelling the energy demand of building and identifying three strategies for optimizing energy demand. Steady flows through rooms & heat source modellingġ.Transient flows through rooms & night purging.Displacement ventilation & thermally stratified flows.Natural ventilation of modern buildings.Ventilation: creating air movements for the supply of fresh air and removal of stale air (10 hours, Hunt) Integrated design of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems.Introduction to data-driven performance assessment.Introduction to building performance simulation.Introduction to energy demand in buildings.Energy Efficient Building Systems & Building Performance Modelling (6 hours, Choudhary/Fitzgerald) The module aims to develop a deep understanding of how fundamental principles of building physics are integrated at the system level to guide the design of zero-carbon built environments. It subsequently describes energy modelling techniques for analysing buildings as a system of interacting components and processes leading to low-energy buildings that satisfy occupant comfort systems and technologies. The module first introduces students to energy-efficient building systems and other advanced building physics topics. For example, the need for energy must be analysed in conjunction with energy production for heating and cooling, distribution, thermal storage and the end-use in buildings. In order to do so, the building structure, the building fabric and the building services must be understood both in individual detail and as interacting systems.
understand the factors that influence and control the movement of air and heat in naturally ventilated buildings.ĭesigning sustainable buildings requires making choices among various building materials and components, and more efficient use of energy and natural resources.design and evaluate energy efficiency of buildings.evaluate alternative energy systems and buildings technologies against energy consumption for a given context.To understand the design of heating, cooling, and ventilation in buildingsĪs specific objectives, by the end of the course students should be able to:.To understand methods and tools used for quantifying energy efficiency of buildings.To develop a deep understanding of principles of building physics at the system level to guide the design of zero-carbon buildings.
