CYPETHERM Improvements Plus for energy audits

Unlock Energy Efficiency with CYPETHERM Improvements Plus

This course delves into building energy audits and the analysis of energy improvement measures, providing a comprehensive energy and economic study of various options for building renovation. It's designed to seamlessly integrate with the powerful CYPETHERM programs utilizing the industry-standard EnergyPlus™ analysis engine. Specifically, this course builds upon the foundations of CYPETHERM EPlus, CYPETHERM HE Plus, and CYPETHERM RECS Plus.

This learning experience is part of the RenoZEB European project series, focused on accelerating the nZEB (nearly Zero Energy Building) market through innovative software tools and the RenoZEB plug and play system. To maximize your understanding, we recommend exploring these related courses on Udemy:

• IFC Builder: Learn to create a detailed BIM model of your building.
• Open BIM Focchi Facades: Integrate the "plug and play" solution into your BIM model.
• CYPETHERM Eplus: Master energy simulation for buildings.

In this course, we'll apply the concepts using a pre-existing BIM model developed in the preceding courses. The example is a residential building located in Durango, Basque Country, renovated according to the RenoZEB project guidelines.

CYPETHERM Improvements Plus represents an advancement over its predecessor, CYPETHERM Improvements. It optimizes the connection between the improvement measures analysis program and the results generated by the CYPETHERM programs powered by EnergyPlus™. A key differentiator is the ability to define the energy consumption of individual building services and calculate the final energy demand based on non-renewable primary energy.

Key topics covered include:

• Energy Audits: Conducting thorough assessments of building energy performance.
• Energy Efficiency Measures: Identifying and evaluating potential improvements.
• Energy Modeling: Utilizing EnergyPlus™ for accurate energy simulations.
• Economic Analysis: Performing cost-benefit analyses of renovation options.
• BIM Integration: Connecting energy analysis with Building Information Modeling.
• nZEB Renovation: Achieving near-zero energy buildings through renovation.
• EnergyPlus™ Analysis Engine: Leveraging the power of EnergyPlus™ for detailed simulations.
• Non-Renewable Energy: Understanding and calculating primary energy consumption.
