BUILDING ENERGY AUDIT AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT AND VERIFICATION
   2018/2019, Semester 2
   School of Design and Environment (Building)
Modular Credits: 4
  Tags: --

Learning Outcomes

TopThe MSc (BPS) programmes aims to equip students with advanced knowledge in building performance and sustainability. In this context, energy performance of building, the discovery of energy saving potential and the verification of results after an energy retrofit project are anchor knowledge to the programme. This module aims to develop an advanced workable and scientific knowledge among students in these important areas.

Students should be familiar with the methodology and instrumentation requirements for a detailed energy audit. They should be conversant with the statistical treatment and interpretation of measured results, including setting up an energy performance measurement and verification protocol for a building energy retrofit project. Based on audited performance, students should be able to identify and evaluate various energy conservation measures and their ROI.

Synopsis

TopThis module considers the objectives and methodologies in conducting a detailed building energy audit. The module commences with the evaluation of energy performance indicators and their influence on measurement methodology, and the designing of auditing strategy. The statistical interpretation of results, measurement accuracy and instrumentation strategies are also major topics of the module. Once the energy saving opportunities are identified, work shall commence on the evaluation and recommendation of energy conservation measures, and their ranking through the rates of return on investment (ROI). Different modes of procurement in energy retrofit projects and the fundamental principles of Energy Performance Contracting will be examined. Finally, upon the completion of an energy retrofit programme, the requirements and critical conditions for an accurate performance measurement and verification would also be discussed.
