What is an Energy Model? – Self Study
In this free course, you'll learn a variety of methods for modeling building energy consumption. We start with simple energy estimating tools of increasing complexity, finally arriving at detailed energy simulations.
What is an Energy Model? – Self Study
In this free course, Chris Schaffner describes a variety of methods for modeling building energy consumption. He starts with simple energy estimating tools of increasing complexity, finally arriving at detailed energy simulations.
A few simple methods are described, and spreadsheets (listed below) built to use these methods are provided. The specific requirements of energy simulations are discussed, and the course concludes with a case study demonstrating the power of parametric energy simulations as a design tool.
Two excel documents included:
– Simplified Heat Recovery Calculator
– Simplified Ground Source Heat Pump Calculator
