Building Performance Computing
Introduction to computational methods and applications for building performance assessment, thermal and visual modelling fundamentals of building performance simulation, modeling, and design. It overviews the thermal and visual simulation methods, introduction to the application of computational building simulation tools and 3D modelling for thermal and visual performance assessment. Introducing the behaviour patterns of building occupants as a variable in building simulation modelling. Addressing the urban scale and environmental performance of urban areas using computational simulation tools. Case studies and assignments on the application of simulation in building design and operation, to achieve comfort for the building users.
