| Title | EnergyPlus Building Simulation |
| Speaker | Assoc. Prof. Dr. Azhaili Baharun |
Abstract
This workshop will introduce to the participants the EnergyPlus®Building simulation. The software is designed for engineers, architects, researchers and scientists as well as consultants, government agencies and Post Graduate students working in building related fields. It trains and informs to the concerned the effects of energy related measures which should be undertaken before the design of a building. This is a must to learn as a tool for building design. The present awareness about climate change caused by mostly the energy generation, of which 1/3 is consumed by the buildings themselves, has pushed the engineers to work on energy efficient buildings. A well prepared and organized simulation would help ensure that the buildings are low energy consuming and greener than before.
