AF2510 Energy and Indoor Climate Modelling in Buildings 7.5 credits

Course contents

Upon successful completion of the course, students are intended to have gained a good basic understanding of following aspects related to energy and indoor climate modeling in buildings:

•                    Simulation of buildings, possibilities and limitations

•                    Different simulation tools

•                    Neutral Model Format (NMF)

•                    IDA ICE tool for modular simulation

•                    Component models in NMF

•                    Methods for visualizing modeled and measured data

•                   Conducting and evaluating system studies of energy and indoor climate in buildings

Intended learning outcomes

The course aims at establishing a good basic proficiency in energy and indoor climate modeling in buildings by providing key knowledge relevant to:

•                    Methods for modeling energy services and indoor climate in buildings

•                    Using the IDA ICE modeling tool for modular simulation

•                    System analysis of key thermal processes and air flows in buildings, as well as performance analysis of climate control devices and installations

•                   Analysis of the function and energy performance of climate control devices and installations
