This course provides guidance on how to evaluate any range of passive or active Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) for rooms, systems, buildings and sites. Evaluate predictive metrics for site energy, source energy, energy cost and carbon emissions by using the world-renowned APACHE simulation engine.
The lessons will take you step by step through how to perform and analyse dynamic simulations within the IESVE.
You will learn how to:
- Create custom constructions
- Set up basic systems for heating, cooling, ventilation and hot water
- Create thermal templates
- Apply constructions, systems and thermal templates to the model and review the assigned data
- Set up and run ASHRAE or CIBSE Loads for heating and cooling
- Review the results, and optionally use them for auto-sizing of the heating and cooling systems
- Run the dynamic simulation
- Look at the simulation results to see standard reports and consider output variables for further analysis and evaluation of the design.
This series of lessons is certified for 1 CPD hour.
