The following learning unit is aimed at identifying the principles that affect an element to be suitable in an nZEB building design and at the application of BIM objects suitable for their correct use within the BIM model. Therefore, principles and parameters affecting building services and smart technologies, quality controls to guarantee nZEB values as well as best practices in the field will be studied. All this with an active and innovative methodology, thanks to the digital tools that provide greater ease in the application of solutions in the design.

The Objectives include:

  • Identify the principles that affect an element to be suitable in an nZEB building design.
  • Use tools for BIM object creation (energy systems, mechanical ventilation...).
  • Guarantee a correct nZEB design through the application of a quality control of the construction model.
  • Base nZEB building design on suitable BIM objects.
  • Perform analyse energy demand calculations for building services design.
  • Compare and contrast different technologies to facilitate selection of an appropriate solution or solutions.
