What Will I Learn?

• Understanding of the logic and requirements of 3D modeling for environmental analysis and energy simulations.
• Creation of hourly and monthly graphs of climatological data
• Analysis of passive design strategies according to geographic location
• Creation of studies of radiation, solar incidence and winds, and some applications in the envelope
• Creation of energy models from scratch and analysis of results.
• Understanding of the minimum requirements to generate occupancy schedules, equipment, lighting, hot water, HVAC.

Requirements

• No experience using the software is required. You will learn everything you need to know.
• You will use Rhinoceros 7.
• In a video I will explain how to install the programs that you will use in the course
• Preferably Windows as operating system or working with Parallels or Bootcamp

Target audience
