Objectives of this unit are to give students an understanding of energy consumption issues in buildings against the backdrop of escalating energy and carbon emission reduction targets for the built environment. In order to meet these targets, new design and operational management techniques are needed, including energy auditing, retrofitting and energy efficiency optimisation techniques. This unit is primarily concerned with energy management in buildings and Code compliance in Australia. Various methods of assessing energy performance will be explored, with emphasis on energy simulation. Students will be given an opportunity to understand Australian standards and building energy rating schemes, and how to apply them to the design and operation of buildings.
