Instructional Modules Demonstrating Building Energy Analysis Using a Building Information Model
… separate analysis tools - Autodesk Ecotect and DesignBuilder. Ecotect is used to provide early feedback on weather, heating and cooling loads, and heat loss information, and DesignBuilder is used to evaluate the effect of adding various energy conservation measures (ECMs). The two programs are …

An Analysis of Thermal Comfort Perception in Cal Poly's Math & Science Building
… was developed, validated, and modified using DesignBuilder. In addition, we compared thermal comfort surveys to actual measured conditions for some classrooms. Analysis indicates that students prefer a cooler thermal environment rather than a warmer thermal environment and that the Fanger PMV …

Net Zero Residential Design for Solar CalPoly
… Cal Poly. She modeled the final summer design in DesignBuilder to calculate the heating and cooling loads. The heating load was calculated to be 26.7 kBTU/h. The cooling load was calculated to be 2-tons. A mini-split HVAC system was selected for the final summer design based off the calculated …
