AF2512 Indoor Climate and Energy Modeling for High Performance Buildings, Project Course
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
AF1402 Building Physics, AF1002 Buildings and Civil Engineering Structures, AF2508 Building Service Technologies and Systems or equivalent courses.
- Simulating the indoor climate and energy performance of buildings in the context of new construction or building retrofitting.
- Possibilities and constraints in simulating the indoor climate and energy performance of buildings
- Advantages o weaknesses at different simulation tools.
- Calculus and interpretation of simulation results.
- Neutral Model Shaped (NMF).
- Simulating and evaluating (by means of the simulation tool IDA ICE) the indoor climate and energy performance of buildings at component and system level.
- Simulating the indoor climate and energy performance of buildings in the context of designing high-performance buildings (passive, near-zero-energy and positive energy buildings).
- Simulation/evaluation of measures for improved indoor climate and improvement of energy efficiency at modification/renovation.
- Methods for visualising simulated and measured indoor climate and energy performance of buildings.
The main objective of the course is to provide good basic proficiency in indoor climate and energy modelling in buildings, as well as an understanding of the building as system.
On completion of the course, students are expected:
- Have a good understanding of parameters influencing the indoor climate and energy performance of buildings.
- Be able to use the simulation tool IDA ICE for simulating and evaluating the indoor climate and energy performance of buildings.
- Have a good understanding of the possibilities and constraints in building simulation.
- Be able to use the simulation tool IDA ICE for designing building service and energy systems for new and retrofitted buildings.
- Be able to carry out system studies of the thermal properties of buildings, air movements in buildings as well as climate control technologies.
- Analyse the function and the energy efficiency of climate control technologies.
- Analyse and describe the indoor climate and energy performance of buildings in a system perspective.
