Course Objectives: | The aim of this course to teach the students how to effectively analyze the energy consumption and energy loss of a building. Students will be taught how space conditioning is performed, and how the efficiency of this process can be increased. Heat loss through various surfaces will be studied. Lighting of both the indoors and outdoors will be covered. Finally, utility management subjects including water consumption and recycle, appliance selection and fuel consumption will be mentioned. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Define building envelope II. Analyze the effects of temperature and humidity on resident comfort III. Apply heat transfer basics to the analysis of heat loss through exterior surfaces IV. Calculate heat loss through windows, roofs, floors and walls via conduction and convection V. Calculate the optimum insulation thickness as a function of indoor and outdoors temperature as well as the type of insulatory material VI. Assess the key parameters that affect the efficient operation of HVAC systems VII. Compare boilers and heat pumps as two central heating options VIII. Analyze the indoors and outdoors lighting requirements of buildings IX. Recognize the importance of utility management such as water and fuel consumption and appliance selection in regards to building energy efficiency X. Analyze the national and international laws and standards on building energy efficiency XI. Predict the future amendments in the regulations and standards in the field of building energy efficiency |
Building envelope, space conditioning, calculation of heat losses through external surfaces, insulation, HVAC systems, central heating systems, lighting, water and fuel consumption in buildings, contribution of electrical appliances to energy consumption in buildings, related national and international standards and regulations |
