Energy simulation is a computer-based analytical process that helps building owners and designers to evaluate the energy performance of a building and make it more energy efficient by making necessary modifications in the design before the building is constructed. Use of energy simulation software is necessary to show compliance with United States Building Codes. Course explains Energy Modelling process and important parts of Energy modelling. Building envelope, heating ventilation, schedules, weather, thermal zones, glazing, input and output files etc. are explained with details, which are key component of any energy modelling process. Modelling guidelines given are helpful for any modelling software like, eQUEST, Canquest, Energyplus, TRNSYS, Open Studio, IES, DesignBuilder etc.
