Energy Monitoring and Effects on Indoor Climate

Content

In the energy monitoring course, students learn about metrological concepts and technical solutions for energy monitoring and for evaluating indoor climate quality. In addition, they learn to record thermal and energetic properties of the building envelope, the technical building equipment as well as data on user behavior and climate data, and to manage and evaluate the resulting data.

 

Data management techniques essential for understanding building performance (including managing, storing, querying and evaluating the resulting data) are an important part of the course.

 

In the lectures and practical workshops, large open source measurement datasets are used to teach how to deal with data and methods for dealing with missing and incorrect information as well as statistical evaluations. Students will continue to learn how the indoor climate effect in buildings can be assessed using thermal comfort assessment methods and how complex data can be assessed and presented.

 

The course provides the skills required for advanced studies in a wide range of energy monitoring and modeling topics at the master's degree level.


Objective

After the course, the students will have a deeper understanding of technical solutions to record and evaluate the thermal and energetic properties of buildings (including the thermal envelope, building loads, services and data on occupant behavior and thermal comfort). In addition, students learn essential data processing skills (including managing, storing, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting a wide range of data).
