Description
This course is not about how to do Energy Modelling? This is about why Energy Modelling is important. It explains energy modelling process with detail discussion about technical terms related to Energy Modelling process. How simulation engine works and what are different types of loads that is explained here. When used manual calculations for any load of building, what type of errors can be there that is narrated followed by data required to perform modelling and their sources. Outputs of simulation programs are shown with images and graphs. Known software for energy simulation is listed with their features followed by selection guidelines and FAQs. Course is helpful to Engineers, Consultants, Architects and Energy managers who wish to adopt Energy efficient design of building and ECBC compliance.
