Upon successful completion of the course, students are intended to have gained a good basic understanding of following aspects related to energy and indoor climate modeling in buildings:
• Simulation of buildings, possibilities and limitations
• Different simulation tools
• Neutral Model Format (NMF)
• IDA ICE tool for modular simulation
• Component models in NMF
• Methods for visualizing modeled and measured data
• Conducting and evaluating system studies of energy and indoor climate in buildings
The course aims at establishing a good basic proficiency in energy and indoor climate modeling in buildings by providing key knowledge relevant to:
• Methods for modeling energy services and indoor climate in buildings
• Using the IDA ICE modeling tool for modular simulation
• System analysis of key thermal processes and air flows in buildings, as well as performance analysis of climate control devices and installations
• Analysis of the function and energy performance of climate control devices and installations
