CIV61019   Building Performance Modelling and Simulation   (10 credits)

Description

The aim of the module is to give you an exposure to a building performance simulation interface and engine that is being widely used by engineers and designers in the built environment sector. This module will focus on the modelling and simulation of thermal phenomena occurring in buildings. The module will develop your building simulation and analytical skills, by testing your ability to use building simulation to optimise low energy design and intervention in view of net zero performance targets. One of the key elements will also involve in-depth understanding and knowledge of evaluating the influential parameters that may affect the building energy and carbon performance the most, by way of ranking the influential parameters using sensitivity analysis.
