Aims

Students gain insight in the different simulation techniques and are able to discuss the limitation of these techniques.

Students are able to set up a dynamic simulation model and to use dynamic simulation tools to evaluate the (hygro)thermal performance of buildings.

Students are able to present the results of dynamic simulation depending on the context.

Previous knowledge

Students are able to set up heat and mass balances for building environments and have knowledge of common heating ventilation and airconditioning systems in buildings.

Prerequisite knowledge:

• Building Physics, part 1
• Energy, indoor climate and installations in buildings, part 1
• Energy, indoor climate and installations in buildings, part 2
