Renewable energy is essential for the realization of net zero buildings. This seminar invites researchers from both architecture and engineering disciplines to demonstrate how to use modeling technologies such as computational fluid dynamics to improve the design of the renewable energy systems in buildings. The researchers introduce the applications of modeling technologies in the design of building envelopes and building systems such as the heating system with various renewable energy sources. The impacts of the renewable energy on the building energy performance, CO2 emission, and the indoor thermal comfort are also discussed.
