Building Energy Simulation Workshop - 13th & 14th June 2014

BUILDING ENERGY SIMULATION WORKSHOP:

The scenario of energy consumption in India and across the globe is being changing over the years. Out of the total production of energy, 60% of the energy is consumed by buildings only. The shortage of energy to meet the demand in the buildings has ultimately resulted in load shedding, power cuts, hike in energy prices, extra power generation, comparatively more trees being cut, climate change and etc etc etc. The energy generation is in a way connected to the environmental and climate of the earth, and which we all can see and suffer with the results.

Keeping this in mind we opted for building energy simulation as a subject of this workshop and aim is to prepare and built the capacity in building energy simulation industry.

The Energy-modeling is method for estimating or predicting the building's energy consumption, utility bills and life cycle costs of various energy related items such as air conditioning, lights , pumps and service hot water etc. It is also used to evaluate the payback of green energy solutions or energy efficiency measures adopted to minimize the building consumption. To understand energy modeling, it's important to understand building simulation.

Building simulation is the process of using a software to build a virtual building. In general terms, the building is built from its component parts on a software and a simulation is performed by taking that building through the weather conditions of an entire year, depending upon the climatic zone. In a way, building simulation is a way to quantitatively estimate the future and thus has considerable value. Building simulation is commonly divided into two categories: Load Design, and Energy-Analysis. The common phrase for building simulation when energy is involved is building energy simulation.

The workshop is on 13th and 14th June, 2014. The agenda is for 2 days workshop. It will cover all starting from the basics of building, what is building, how it behaves in terms of energy, HVAC basics, different kind of system, modelling methodology, analysis of results, different rating systems, code compliance etc. the trainer is having expertise on many prestigious projects of green buildings and energy simulation.
