Energy Simulation in Building Design

3 Hours

Fundamentals of building energy simulations including basic analytical models for heat transfer in building elements and general numerical methods for solving system of equations. Use of energy simulation tools for building design analyses including parametric studies. Only one of the following may be counted: Architectural Engineering 383 (Topic: Energy Simulation in Building Design), 389U, Civil Engineering 397 (Topic: Energy Simulation in Building Design). Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
