CourseDetails
• Introduction to Thermal Comfort Modeling: Defining the concept of thermal comfort, its importance, and the factors affecting it. This unit will provide an overview of the simulation techniques used to analyze and predict thermal comfort in built environments. • Fundamentals of Heat Transfer: This unit will cover the basic principles of heat transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation. It will also discuss the properties of materials that affect heat transfer, such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, and emissivity. • Human Thermal Comfort Models: This unit will delve into the various human thermal comfort models, such as the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied (PPD) models. It will also explain how these models are used in the design of buildings and HVAC systems. • Simulation Software for Thermal Comfort Analysis: In this unit, students will learn about the various software tools available for thermal comfort modeling, including EnergyPlus, TRNSYS, and DEEPS. They will also gain hands-on experience using these tools to simulate thermal comfort in different scenarios. • Measurement Techniques for Thermal Comfort: This unit will cover the various methods used to measure thermal comfort in real-world settings. Students will learn about temperature, humidity, air velocity, and radiant temperature sensors, as well as how to analyze and interpret the data collected from these sensors. • Thermal Comfort in Outdoor Environments: This unit will explore how thermal comfort modeling techniques can be applied to outdoor environments, such as urban spaces, parks, and sports facilities. It will also discuss the unique challenges associated with modeling thermal comfort in outdoor settings. • Advanced Topics in Thermal Comfort Modeling: This unit will cover advanced topics in thermal comfort modeling, such as the impact of climate change on thermal comfort, the use of machine learning algorithms for predictive modeling, and the integration of thermal comfort modeling with other building performance simulation tools. • Case Studies in Thermal Comfort Modeling: In this final unit, students will apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout the course to real-world case studies. They will analyze existing thermal comfort models, identify areas for improvement, and propose their own simulation techniques to address these challenges.
