Energy Simulation of High Performance Green Buildings
This course introduces the conceptual and technical core aspects of whole-building energy simulation. Students will learn to use energy modelling or simulation, the underlying principles of energy modeling, and the ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G modelling methodology.
Building Energy Modeling simulates building energy use physics-based. A Building Energy Modeling programme uses geometry, construction materials, lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, water heating, and renewable generation system designs, component efficiencies, and control strategies to describe a building. It also records occupancy, lighting, plug- loads, and thermostat schedules. These inputs, local weather data, and physics equations determine thermal loads, system response to those loads, energy use, and related metrics like occupant comfort and energy costs in a BEM application.
Energy modelling simulates a building’s energy consumption, utility bills, and life cycle costs of energy-related items like air conditioning, lights, and hot water. It calculates the payback of green energy solutions like solar panels, photovoltaics, wind turbines, and high-efficiency appliances.
Building energy consumption has the greatest environmental impact. It’s one of a building owner’s biggest expenses. High-performance buildings start with energy modelling early in the design process.
Energy modelling helps project teams understand how architectural, mechanical, and electrical design decisions affect building energy performance over time. Modeling lets teams compare design options by first cost, operating cost, and replacement cost. Energy modelling allows the owner to build a building that outperforms others, giving them a market advantage.
The Energy Simulation of High-Performance Green Buildings Training Program was prepared by a Sr. Energy Specialist, Krishnaji Pawar.
specialises in developing sustainable design strategies for Green Building Certification Systems (LEED, GSAS, etc.), Energy Management, Energy Efficiency, Energy Audits, Building Commissioning, Environmental Impact Assessments, and Environmental Management Systems.
Be ranked among the elite as part of the next big thing for architects, engineers, sustainability consultants, and other building professionals. Get noticed by building the desired energy modelling skillset needed to land that dream job or promotion, or master it as you lead your LEED project. From general energy modelling introductions to in-depth LEED models, we’ll take care of you!
