Basics of Building Energy Modeling - BEM

The Basics of Building Energy Modeling (BEM) c ourse is ideal for those who want to become acquainted with modeling concepts and demonstrate compliance with the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) and ASHRAE standards.

Energy modeling is fundamental to the design of contemporary, sustainable buildings. The process entails the development of digital models that faithfully replicate the energy usage, thermal efficiency, and comprehensive ecological repercussions of a structure over the course of its entire lifespan.

By employing sophisticated software tools and data analysis methodologies, this process optimizes the design, systems, and operations of the building in order to achieve optimal energy efficiency while minimizing its environmental impact.

An energy model is the perfect route to predicting building performance. The value of a design is entirely at risk unless key design decisions are assessed in advance. Beyond Smart Cities specializes in energy modeling for a wide range of building types and climate zones. We have created thousands of dynamic simulation energy models aimed at improving building performance throughout all design stages in order to discover opportunities and mitigate hazards.

The Basics of Building Energy Modeling - BEM training was developed by Krishnaji Pawar , an accomplished energy modeling expert specializing in the creation of sustainable design strategies for commissioning, environmental impact assessment, green building certification systems (LEED, GSAS, etc.), energy modeling, and environmental management systems.

This course provides an introductory overview of building energy modeling, an adaptable and multifunctional tool utilized in the design of new and retrofit buildings, green certification, tax credit eligibility, and utility incentive programs.

BEM lets engineers simulate building energy systems. They learn crucial system feasibility, greenhouse gas emissions, and costs. The designer can also enter the building location and weather.

BEM software manages and analyzes energy. Contractors can model HVAC energy consumption with this tool. The software reduces carbon emissions and construction time.

Sustainable building designs require smarter energy-saving decisions. BEM software helps achieve this. This holistic approach yields quantifiable results. Thus, design teams and contractors should consider BEM technology for their next project.

Learning Objectives

• What is Building Energy Modeling (BEM)?
• Building Energy Codes and Standards
• Building Energy Modeling Tools
• LEED and Building Energy Modeling
• Building Energy Modeling and Commissioning
• Benefits of Building Energy Modeling
• Professional energy modeling specialist certification

Energy modeling involves the computerized or virtual simulation of a complex or building, with an emphasis on utility bills, energy consumption, and the life cycle costs of energy-related components including hot water, lighting, and air conditioning. It is also utilized to determine the return on investment for high-efficiency appliances, solar panels, photovoltaics, and wind turbines, among other green energy solutions.
