Description:
The course "Modelling of buildings and HVAC systems" focuses on acquiring basic knowledge and skills in modelling the energy and environmental behaviour of buildings and technical systems.

Students will learn the relationships between climatic conditions and the use of buildings and technical systems, zoning and design parameters and geometry for modelling buildings and technical systems for heating and cooling with liquids and air handling systems. They will also learn to use mathematical modelling to optimise the design of buildings and technical systems and CFD visualisation of fluid flow to solve engineering problems of technical building systems.

The aim of the course is for students to gain comprehensive knowledge and skills in modelling the energy and environmental behaviour of buildings and technical systems, enabling them to effectively address current energy and sustainability issues in buildings and technical systems.
