LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Check compliance for daylight requirements as per ECBC 2017

2. Analyse comfort hours for naturally ventilated spaces as per ASHRAE Std 55-2017

3. Model daylight & glare control and assess the impact on building load

4. Discuss the trade-off between comfort and energy use

5. Calculate Solar PV requirements for your project

6. Work with spreadsheets to process simulation results

7. Translate simulation outputs for design inputs

8. Develop custom charts and graphs to communicate the result

9. Get hands-on experience on OpenStudio/SketchUp modelling platform

LEARNING LEVEL:
