Energy Modeling

Blended course lectures will comprise an integrated overview of building energy use, along with application of eQUEST wizards which will serve as a tool to show connections between building components and introduce students to energy modeling through software. By combining lectures on basic building system concepts and linkages, with hands-on measurement and modeling of energy use at the EIC building, learners will be prepared to learn deeper energy modeling skills more effectively and apply what they’ve learned about building energy systems to existing buildings. New building construction and retrofit projects will be surveyed. This course introduces the concept of buildings systems thinking and therefore students must have a background in buildings/energy.
