Overview
About the course
The Advanced Zero-Energy Design - Validate Your Building's Energy Performance course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) will demonstrate how an integrated approach, which takes into account both passive measures (such as thermal insulation and sun shading) and active measures (such as heat pumps and photovoltaic panels), can deliver the best results.
Not only will you develop zero-energy designs, you will also learn how to validate your design with energy performance calculations. The DesignBuilder software tool will be used, together with an Excel tool developed for this course, which facilitate the calculation of the combined effect of all energy measures. The DesignBuilder license will be provided when you take this course, you can use the license for free for one full year.
