BIM DAY: Summer Course 2024 on Building Performance Simulation: Day 1 (July 1, 2024) - The "BIM" day

Summer course on building performance simulation

The event will be organised in a blended mobility format, with physical activities taking place at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava and at Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers as part of a one-week specialised course from July 1 through July 5, 2024, preceded by a virtual part of approximately 2 months.

The on-campus course, the summer camp, itself will include a series of lectures with practical demonstrations in the field of building energy simulations and daylighting simulations. Particular attention will be given to the optimization of lightweight envelope / curtain wall facades and glazing. During the course, students will create simulation models to assess daylighting, summer overheating and/or year-round energy demand. Energy Plus, Design Builder, Physibel and possibly other software will be used.

The virtual part of the activities will take the form of self-study and "tailor-made" consultations in the run-up to the summer camp, at the end of which the physical course will take place. The virtual part will consist of studying recommended online materials and preparing the students' own building simulation model using non-commercial software such as Energy Plus or commercial Physibel or even the software of his/her choice. During the summer camp, participants will complete and present the model.
