Title: Visual Qualitative Energy and Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis
Instructor: Brian Skripac
Course Description: Designing high-quality, energy-efficient buildings requires one to "think globally and design locally" by having a strong understanding of how to best utilize the surrounding natural resources to light and condition a space. This class will demonstrate the value of a BIM workflow in performing early qualitative energy analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. This capability allows for an iterative design process, enabling the design team to better understand how to use these resources to inform design decisions earlier than ever before. Arming yourself with this information at the beginning of the design process can help shape the form and envelope conditions of a building when they can have the most beneficial impact on its performance and life cycle costs.
