Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course includes two parts:
- new buildings
- exisiting buildings
The details of the pedagogical commitment are given separately for both parts.
Part 1 : Buildings to be built
Materials, envelope, ventilation, heating and cooling systems, hot domestic water, artificial lighting, the use of renewable energy in buildings, economic-technical approach (residential and tertiary).
The course revolves around the various parameters necessary for carrying out the energy balance of a new house: materials, envelope, ventilation, heating and cooling systems, domestic hot water, artificial lighting, use of renewable energies in buildings. .. It also offers a technico-economic approach (residential and tertiary).
Part 2 : Existing buildings
Description of the teaching Unit:
The course aims at providing the background required to understand and calculate the energy balance of an existing building. The approaches available to assess the different components of the energy balance are provided.
Table of contents:
Performance requirements of a building; monitoring and diagnosis methods; calculation and calibration methods. The course builds upon a real building of which the energy balance is progressively avaluated all along the different lessons.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Part 1 : Buildings to be built
At the end of this course, the student will be able to carry out an energy balance of a building, and to understand the importance of their various parameters. He/she will be able to be critical in the face of the various parameters which are taken into account in this assessment, and in the face of the comparison of the results resulting from different models.
Part 2 : Existing buildings
At the end of the course, the student is able to understand the concept of energy balance of an existing building and to realize it on a specific case using the methods presented during the lessons.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Part 1 : Buildings to be built
None
Part 2 : Existing buildings
Physics and thermodynamics fundamentals.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Part 1 : Buildings to be built
Lectures (theory) and guided practical work sessions, alternately.
Part 2 : Existing buildings
The course combines the presentation of basic concepts and evaluation methods and their application on a real building case which serves as a "red line" for the contents of the course. It also includes an introduction to the use of simulation programs.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Part 1 : Buildings to be built
Face-to-face or remote (depending on the circumstances)
Part 2 : Existing buildings
The cours is given face-to-face to the students. In case of continuation of the sanitary crisis during spring 2021 which would maintain the University in red code, the course will be given remotelyusing the LifeSize platform.
Recommended or required readings
Part 1 : Buildings to be built
None
Part 2 : Existing buildings
Powerpoint presentations of the oral lessons. Presentation note of the "red line" building example.
Assessment methods and criteria
Common examination for both parts of the course
Part 1 : Buildings to be built
The overall assessment relates to the execution of a practical work (1/3 of the points) and to the success of an oral exam (2/3 of the points). The practical work involves carrying out an assessment of a single-family house using the EPB software (delivering theoretical energy consumption and CO2 emissions). The results are then compared with those from the modeling of the same house on the TOTEM online software (energy consumption in use and results of the "global warming" indicator). Students must present their results in groups during the last session. The oral exam includes a question on the practical work carried out (per student), and two questions on the theoretical material.
In the case of distance learning under a red code for at least half of the periods scheduled in the schedule, the final score will be established by giving increased importance to practical work (rising to 50% of the overall score), vis-à-vis the exam (rising to 50% of the overall rating). The oral exam will then include a question on the practical work, followed by a question on the theoretical material (a second question may be asked to the student in the event of inadequacy in the first question).
Part 2 : Existing buildings
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
oral exam
Additional information:
Oral exam common with the part devoted to new buidlings. The total evaluation includes 3 questions the student presents without preparation.
