Inhoud
In this expert course five energy topics are considered:  (1) domestic mechanical ventilation systems and heat recovery (2) solar shading and photovoltaics (3) peak natural ventilation systems and night ventilation (4) domestic hot water systems (5) heat pumps and ground coupled systems. For each topic four approaches are used: (1) dynamic energy balance modelling (2) innovation by research (3) technological aspects and specification texts (4) economic aspects.

EnergyPlus is used for dynamic energy balance modelling. An overview of the deliverables of recent European research projects is available. Technological aspects are introduced through technical data sheets and catalogues of manufacturers of building systems and components. The European cost-optimal strategy for nearly zero-energy buildings is used to evaluate the economic aspects.

Students should select two topics, and are asked to integrate the four approaches into an individual case study.

The course is organised in 5 lectures and 5 studio work sessions in which an individual case study is analysed. Energy and water monitoring equipment is available for individual checks.

Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

You will not be asked to build an E+ file from scratch. Still, a project E+file will be available, and you should be able to evaluate and explain the impact of changes in that file. 
Reports of lectures and topics should be posted on your individual portfolio during the course, at times specified in the task description. Please collect all final exercise reports on your own portfolio into a single zip-file before Jan. 1.  Selected documents for discussion during the oral exam will be available before mid January.
