Aim: To enable the participants to conceive some of the computational tasks occuring within the building energy technology on temperature, heat flow, and moisture conditions with the aim to obtain solutions using numerical calculation methods. It is the objective to make the participants acquainted with the different relevant numerical calculation methods and the development of associated computer programs. Relevant topics of building energy technology comprise among other things the determination of temperature and moisture conditions, and heat flows in buildings and solar heating systems. To support the development and design of buildings, and solar heating systems and components, one must be able to carry out detailed calculations within these particular fields.
Contents: In the course numerical calculation methods are treated for the calculation of the following subjects:
- Multidimensional and transient heat conduction in structures with heat transmission at the boundaries in the form of solar radiation, thermal radiation, and convection.
- Transport and storage of heat, and temperature conditions in solar heating systems and the like where liquid or gas flows in tubes and ducts.
- Moisture transport in building components etc. under transient temperature and moisture conditions.
An important element of the course is the students own experimentation by construction of programs based on numerical methods.
