| Learning Outcomes: |
Analyse and model the energy performance of your designs; allowing you to assess the environmental sustainability.
Know the difference between and be able to use both dynamic models and non-dynamic models. Differentiate between precision and accuracy during dynamic simulation. Examine the impact of errors in variables when appraising outputs. |
| Synopsis: | Develop and practice using the modelling tools needed to make energy and environmental assessments on various aspects of building design, focussing on individual elements and buildings as a whole. |
| Content: | The role of modelling in the design process and energy/environmental performance evaluation.
Different categories of models including static modelling and energy/environmental assessment tools, including PHPP. Dynamic modelling tools, selection and procedures. |
