10. Course Goals (acquired competencies):

This subject aims at introduction of a BIM-based framework to streamline the energy analysis of buildings, and to explore the possibilities for linking the results of the energy simulation with a Building Sustainability Assessment method, in terms of reaching green-deal objectives.

11. Course Syllabus:

Buildings as a factor with major responsiblity for negative impacts on the environment, related to nonrenewable energy consumption, buildings energy efficiency, nonsustainable materials use and management etc.. Introduction into different computer softwares that has been used to estimate the energy needs of the built environment, including the Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology. BIM-based framework for energy analysis. Possibilities for reducing energy performance gap. Principles and framework for integrating BIM modules and for assessing the sustainability of buildings. Methods for Life Cycle analysis of building materials.

12. Learning methods:

Lectures, teamwork, lectures by guest lecturers, preparation and presentation of project tasks and seminar works.
