Dominique Hes| Subject Overview: | The subject teaches the basics of several modelling tools, from the simplified EcoTect to the more complex Trnsys. Based on a case study approach students will be taught the basics of the programs followed by time in the computer labs working on the software. Each day will comprise of learning about elements of good modelling, energy efficient building design and options at a residential scale and then asked to model these for their own projects. The final part of the course will be to teach critical evaluation, understanding and communication of the modelling results aiming to build the ability to investigate, interpret and analyse variations. |
