Modeling course for high energy performance buildings with DesignBuilder

The course "Modelization of high energy performance buildings with DesignBuilder: a practical case" is an immersion in the current and critical need for sustainable buildings. It will reach skills to create detailed energy models using DesignBuilder, a key tool in the era of energy efficiency. Through didactic units ranging from the creation and use of the building to energy systems and results analysis, participants will apply design and active improvement strategies that maximize comfort and minimize consumption. This knowledge is essential in the contribution to standards such as Leed and Breeam, under a methodology that relates theory to practical applications in real cases. The course approach is comprehensive and applied, resulting in competencies applicable in energy audits and resource optimization projects.

The objective of the module is to introduce the student in the use of Designbuilder through the development of a complete practical case of an existing building of high energy performance, in order to study and validate a set of bioclimatic solutions, passive and active design strategies, which affect the thermal comfort of users and the reduction of energy consumption. The module includes a detailed demonstration of DesignBuilder's application to the energy modeling and simulation of an existing tertiary building in Madrid. All procedures to develop the model are described, the application of a specific methodology is expected, related to a high level of detail. Model calibration exercises will be carried out based on temperatures and consumption data. The calibrated model will be used as the basis for the study of improvement proposals, strategies and opportunities for energy savings, in relation to level II audit, compliance with the credits of EA, Daylight and Comfort in Leed and the BREEAM credit of low carbon technology.
