Module-by-module breakdown of Building Energy Modelling and Its Role in Increasing Energy Efficiency of Buildings Using eQUEST, from foundations to a certified capstone project.
Outline
Understand the role of building energy modelling in sustainable design • Identify key energy loads (cooling, heating, lighting, equipment, ventilation, occupancy) • Explore the DOE‑2 engine and eQUEST interface • Gather basic inputs – climate, location, orientation, envelope, schedules, HVAC assumptions
Outline
Create geometry and define thermal zones • Model the building envelope – walls, roof, floor, glazing, shading • Add internal loads – occupancy, lighting power density, plug and equipment loads • Develop operating schedules for weekdays, weekends and unoccupied periods
Outline
Identify passive and active energy‑efficiency measures • Test improvements – insulation, high‑performance glazing, reduced lighting, optimized schedules, thermostat set‑points, HVAC upgrades • Create baseline vs. improved model comparisons in eQUEST • Run improved simulations and analyze savings
