The course provides knowledge of mathematical concepts and material physics in building simulations for energy and emission analysis. Candidates are provided skills to to interpret the data provided by the software and suggest changes based on the results. The course builds upon previously introduced tools to improve project efficiency.
The aim of the course is to provide candidates with the skills required to initiate simulations according to industry practices. The course is a prerequisite to developing digital models that are more environmentally responsible and add value and go beyond visual representation.
The candidate:
- has knowledge of theories, hand calculations, and mathematical formulas that are used in digital building-related simulations.
- has knowledge of concepts, processes and tools that are used in building simulations for energy and emission analysis.
- is familiar with the calculations utilized in the design processes.
- has insight into his/her own opportunities for development with environmentally responsible design tools.
The candidate:
- can exchange information of materials and elementos in a 3D model to improve energy analysis results.
- can reflect over the energy report and make adjustments under supervision.
- has knowledge about material properties information and its relevance for energy analysis.
The candidate:
- has knowledge of theories, and mathematical principles that are used in digital buildings.
- can plan and carry out energy analysis to improve the buildings environmental footprint and energy performance.
Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.
Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.
Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
