Building Performance Simulation for Green Building Design

The “Building Performance Simulation for Green Building Design” training program covers various energy modeling areas, including green building standards, building energy codes, operational carbon projection, passive and active strategies, thermal load prediction, indoor thermal quality, weather, climate, moisture modeling, lighting design, energy conservation measures, and renewable energy design.

It covers topics such as building energy codes, passive and active strategies, thermal load and energy performance prediction, indoor thermal quality, weather and climate, moisture modeling, renewable energy design, and lighting design in green buildings.

Building Energy modeling allows in-depth comparative analysis of potential building systems and strategies to optimize energy performance. Energy modeling, when used as a design tool as opposed to simply a compliance method, enables the team to make integrated design decisions based on a full understanding of cost and how systems interact. While energy modeling software is rapidly changing and increasingly becoming integrated with general-purpose BIM and CAD tools, the Department of Energy has created what remains the standard software backbone called DOE-2.

An energy model checks how well the different parts—like climate, geometry, material properties, expected occupant behavior, lighting, and others—work together to help the project team reach their energy goals while also making sure everyone is comfortable. As the leaders of the design process, architects must acquire a more comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of energy modeling.

This procedure optimizes the building’s design, systems, and operations with the dual objective of minimizing environmental impact and maximizing energy efficiency by utilizing advanced software tools and data analysis methodologies. An energy model is the perfect route to predicting building performance. If we don’t assess key design decisions in advance, the value of a design is entirely at risk.

Beyond Smart Cities specializes in energy modeling for a wide range of building types and climate zones. Mechanical engineers have used energy modeling to size the cooling and heating equipment in buildings. In the middle of the 20th century, architects abandoned rational climate response because they relied on engineers to comprehend and supply building comfort.

Engineers became the exclusive providers of comfort and lighting, utilizing advanced energy-saving techniques. The tools to help architects make passive early design judgments are glaringly lacking. We have created thousands of dynamic simulation energy models aimed at improving building performance throughout all design stages in order to discover opportunities and mitigate hazards.

It was created by Krishnaji Pawar, a skilled energy modeler who focuses on making sustainable design plans for commissioning, environmental impact assessment, green building certification systems (LEED, GSAS, etc.), energy modeling, and environmental management systems. Pawar also created the Building Performance Simulation for Green Building Design training.
