Course Details
• Advanced Building Energy Modeling: This unit will cover the use of energy modeling tools and software to analyze building energy use and efficiency. Topics will include whole building energy simulation, load analysis, and model calibration.
• Building Science and Physics: This unit will cover the fundamental principles of building science and physics, including heat transfer, moisture dynamics, and air flow. Students will learn how these principles impact building energy performance and how to apply them to building design and retrofit.
• High-Performance Building Design: This unit will cover the principles and practices of high-performance building design, including integrated design processes, daylighting, passive solar heating and cooling, and building envelope design. Students will learn how to apply these concepts to design buildings that are energy efficient, comfortable, and functional.
• Building Energy Systems: This unit will cover the major building energy systems, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, lighting, and plug loads. Students will learn about the energy efficiency and performance of these systems, as well as how to select, specify, and commission them.
• Building Energy Data Analysis: This unit will cover the methods and tools for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting building energy data. Topics will include energy auditing, measurement and verification, and fault detection and diagnostics.
• Renewable Energy Systems for Buildings: This unit will cover the principles and practices of renewable energy systems for buildings, including solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, wind turbines, and geothermal systems. Students will learn about the design, installation, and operation of these systems, as well as their integration into the building energy system.
• Building Energy Codes and Standards: This unit will cover the building energy codes and standards, including the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), ASHRAE Standard 90.1, and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. Students will learn about the requirements and compliance paths of these codes and standards, as well as their impact on building design and construction.
• Building Energy Policy and Economics: This unit will cover the policy and economic context of building energy, including energy prices, incentives, and
