Introduction of LEED-India and launch of Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) are the two major milestones in constructing green and energy efficient India through the building sector. Since LEED-India has a major focus on energy efficiency in buildings, one of the major challenges in front of designers trying to obtain LEED rating is to ensure the level of energy efficiency. The ECBC is voluntary at this stage but is likely to be mandatory for commercial buildings in near future. Both of these systems demand the upcoming buildings to be more efficient as compared to standard buildings of same shape and usage. Comparison of proposed designs with base case / standard case can be carried out by use of energy simulation tools. Building energy simulation tools provide facility to embed energy efficiency in buildings by predicting their behavior under given climatic conditions and usage patterns. These tools help to predict energy consumption in buildings and provide opportunity to compare different design options through techno-economic analysis. Decisions related to use of insulation on roof, advanced glazing, high performance HVAC system can be taken with much elevated confidence level. This three day workshop is, therefore, a unique opportunity of its kind to learn how to perform energy simulation of buildings for LEED and ECBC through hands-on training on simulation tools and case studies. Besides sailing through the process of building energy simulation up to report preparation stage, the workshop would also cover fundamental concepts required to utilize these simulation tools in the best possible ways. This course addresses the skills and knowledge requirements for carrying out energy simulations for LEED and ECBC. Some common question such as – how much detailing is required for energy modeling; what are the impacts of lighting, internal loads, occupancy schedules; how to analyze simulation results and propose energy conservation measure (ECMs), how to rank ECMs on life cycle cost basis; would be answered through interactive exercises.
Prerequisites: |
The three day intensive programme explores the following topics through simulations and concept building lectures: Day 1: (0900-1700hrs)
At the end of Day-1, participants would know what are important Inputs, how to simulate, read output, see and understand the effect of change in main parameters Day 2: (0900-1700hrs)
At the end of Day-2, participants would know how to read and use sunpath diagrams, perform daylight simulations and to create base case for simulation as per LEED/ECBC Day 3: (0900-1700hrs)
At the end of Day-3, participants would have experienced entire process of energy simulation including final report writing for LEED/ECBC. Tools used: Design Builder, eQUEST, DIALUX, Ecotect and Visual DOE | ||||||||||||

IIIT Hyderabad is an autonomous, self-supporting institution started in 1998. A major goal of IIIT is to impart a uniquely broad and interdisciplinary IT education of the highest academic quality. This is achieved through an integrated curriculum that consists of a highly diverse set of IT courses; inter disciplinary IT research projects, day-to-day interaction with industry, preparation in entrepreneurship and personality development courses. The institute offers Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral level programmes in IT, Electronics and Communications, and applications of IT in various domains. The institute is carrying out advanced Research and Development in Information and Software Technologies and their societal, scientific, industrial and financial applications. This is achieved by having research centres such as: Language Technologies Research Centre (LTRC), Centre for VLSI and Embedded Systems Technology, Centre for Data Engineering, Centre for Visual Information Technology, Robotics Research Centre, Centre for IT in Building Science, Earthquake Engineering Research Centre, communications Research Centre, Bioinformatics Research Centre, and Power Systems Research Centre.
|
The centre aims at developing and spreading the use of IT for the betterment of buildings in terms of projects, processes and performances. CBS emphasizes on studying, applying and improving various IT tools for visualization, optimization, thermal, illumination and acoustic modeling.
