Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
The main goal for this course is to create an understanding at system level around the relationships between indoor climate, occupant satisfaction, building energy performance, environmental impact and building economy (profitability).
On completion of the course, students are expected to:
- Be able to explain how thermal comfort, air quality, lighting quality and acoustic quality influence the overall perceived comfort and productivity of users.
- Be able to analyse and explain the relationships between the indoor climate, energy efficiency, environmental impact and profitability of buildings.
- Have a good understanding of advanced building service and energy systems for high-performance buildings (such as passive, near-zero-energy and positive energy buildings)
- Evaluate the indoor climate and energy performance of buildings by means of advanced simulation tools.
- Explore by means of advanced simulation tools the indoor climate and energy performance of buildings in relation to building certification schemes such as LEED, BREEAM and Miljöbyggnad.
