Offer 1 with catalog number 4016464ENR for all students in the 1st semester at a (E) Master - advanced level.
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.
