Course Objectives
1. Identify basic building elements which affect building energy
consumption and analyze the performance of these elements using
energy conservation models.
2. Analyze the physics behind various numerical tools used for solving
heat and moisture transfer problems in building elements.
3. Use basic numerical methods for solving systems of linear and
nonlinear equations.
4. Conduct building energy analysis using comprehensive computer
simulation tools.
5. Evaluate performance of building envelope and environmental
systems considering energy consumption.
6. Perform parametric analysis to evaluate the effects of design choices
and operational strategies of building systems on building energy
use.
7. Use building simulations in life-cycle cost analyses for selection of
energy-efficient building components.

Short intro to PLUS by Leta Moser
This course got PLUS accreditation
Peer-Led Undergraduate Studying (PLUS)
assists students enrolled in historically difficult
courses by offering class-specific, weekly study
groups.
Students can attend any study group at any point in
the semester to review for an exam, discuss confusing
concepts, or work through practice problems.
