This module will teach the students the basics of energy and power within the buildings and which systems are involved. The students will learn about user profiles of energy consumption and they will create their own user case for their projects. There will be strong emphasis on the design of photovoltaic installations and their principles. In addition, students will learn about the space considerations and basics for electricity and energy within the building and new tendencies on the market for smart buildings, micro grids and district energy.
The Total energy consumption and the required powers in different zones of the housing project are calculated meticulously in order to find the best approximate numbers for designing a good scheme of PV panels design.
Tabrizian Tapestry becomes a self-sufficient building with the usage of photovoltaic cells on the roof’s building. Simultaneously, the cell’s surface function as rain water collecting area. CLIMATE ANALYSIS:
Shruti Sahasrabudhe, Larsen Bidstrup, Nishanth Maheshwaran, Jacek Antoni KostrzewaMASTER IN ADVANCED ECOLOGICAL BUILDINGS AND BIOCITIES, 2022-2023, IAAC To align with overarching sustainability values of the project, we approached the energy design module with intentions to reduce carbon footprint and improve self-sufficiency. Sunny Design software was used with climate date of Paro, Bhutan to help us … Read more

Due to the low angle of the sun and the few hours of daylight in Reykjavik during Winter, the cost savings through producing our own electricity with a PV system did not cover the initial investment in the technology. We therefore propose to instead harness the energy of the wind with our Weather Envelope. Each … Read more
With the design of the Nest, the idea is to best utilise renewable energy to offset the electric loads in the building. The goal is to use photovoltaic cells on the roofs of the building and design the structure to be as self-sufficient as possible.
