Objective
The students can explain the impact of different factors to the energy use of a building. They can produce the energy efficiency documentation required in the building permit process. They can use dynamic simulation tools to calculate the indoor environment, energy use and cooling load of a building. They master measures to prevent overheating during the summer. The students are able to make life cycle calculation to support decision making and assess the environmental impact during the life cycle of a building.
