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.

Extra information:
Mandatory online meetings will be held according to the schedule.
Surf on the Internet, read and send emails, use a word-processing programme (e.g. Word). Connect a camera and headphones to the computer and install a programme using instructions.
Computer Capacity:
Access to a computer (Not a mini pc, tablet or similar) that is not older than three years (or equivalent) and broadband connection, at least 1 Mbit/s (not mobile broadband, because mobile broadband can vary considerably in speed).
Means of Education:
Higher rate of web-based communication where our learning platform (Learn/Canvas) is a natural element of the course. Web-based meetings with sound and image where simple presentations can be held. Lectures can be broadcast live or can alternatively be made available afterwards online.
