Thermal Analysis of Buildings
Course offered in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Lecture/discussion course on the analysis of dynamic heating and cooling requirements in buildings and building systems. The course develops the mathematical foundation for heat and mass transfer analysis using finite difference, analytical, and transfer function-based methods of analysis. Methods are developed for modeling the transient heat and mass transfer and storage in building elements, radiative exchange within buildings, ground coupling, and interactions of solar radiation with buildings. Students apply the methods using state-of-the-art dynamic building simulation programs.
