Course Details
• Holistic Retrofit Fundamentals: An introduction to the principles and practices of holistic retrofit, including the benefits and challenges of this approach. This unit will cover the whole-building approach, the importance of considering all systems and elements of a building, and the potential for significant energy savings and carbon reductions. • Building Assessment: This unit will focus on the comprehensive assessment of existing buildings as a critical first step in any holistic retrofit project. It will cover the use of energy audits, building performance simulations, and other assessment tools to identify opportunities for improvement and to establish baselines for measuring progress. • Building Envelope: This unit will explore the critical role of the building envelope in holistic retrofit projects. It will cover the principles of building science, the properties of different building materials, and the importance of air tightness, insulation, and thermal mass. • HVAC Systems: This unit will focus on the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings, which are often a significant source of energy use and carbon emissions. It will cover the principles of HVAC system design, the importance of energy-efficient equipment and controls, and the role of renewable energy sources in reducing the carbon footprint of HVAC systems. • This unit will explore the potential for natural ventilation and daylighting to reduce energy use and improve indoor environmental quality in buildings. It will cover the principles of natural ventilation and daylighting design, the use of building simulation tools to optimize performance, and the importance of occupant comfort and health. • Renewable Energy Systems: This unit will focus on the integration of renewable energy systems into holistic retrofit projects. It will cover the principles of renewable energy system design, the selection and sizing of different types of renewable energy technologies, and the importance of energy storage and grid integration. • Monitoring and Verification: This unit will explore the critical role of monitoring and verification in ensuring the success of holistic retrofit projects. It will cover the use of sensors and data analysis tools to measure energy use
