Building simulation is the process of using a computer to build a virtual replica of a building.
The building is built from its component parts on a computer and a simulation is performed by taking that building through the weather conditions of an entire year.
In a way, building simulation is a way to quantitatively predict the future and thus has considerable value.
Building simulation is commonly divided into two categories:
Load Design,
Energy-Analysis.
The common phrase for building simulation when energy is involved is Energy-Simulation.

Final year project ideas for electrical engineering eepowerschool.comMuhammad Sarwar
Final year project is the ultimate achievement of an electrical engineering graduate. The idea
of a final year project is to practically implement the technical and professional skills learned.
Graduates work on different final year project ideas. The title of an FYP should be novel and
the project must have a positive impact on the society. Many students choose their FYP topic
in a haste, and at the end of completion, it’s no good for them. So, choose your final year
project wisely and give a lot of thinking while choosing final year project ideas for your
electrical engineering degree.
This post gives a complete list of final year project ideas for electrical engineering students. A
short summary (or synopsis) of the project has also been given to get the complete
understanding of the project. The summary contains a short introduction, methodology and
project outcomes.
Undergraduate students of BSEE are encouraged to pick a topic that would implement a novel
research idea. Though, only simulations can also be used instead of a design project. Various
simulation softwares are available to implement the FYP e.g, Matlab/Simulink, Power World
Simulator, ETAP, Digsilent PowerFactory, PSCAD etc.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Introduction Energy efficiency is an integral part of architecture. One of the simplest and most basic passive techniques, that is universally applied for hot climates such as that of Pakistan, is that of solar shading.
3. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Introduction This presentation gives an overview of the existing methods of providing shade from the Sun. Additionally, a new technique is proposed and the verification of the reliability of this new method is also undertaken. Finally, there is an explanation of the diversity and limitations of its application, its scope and future prospects.

6. External Vs. Internal Shades Introduction Both external and internal shades control heat gain. External shades are more effective than internal shades because they block the solar energy before it enters the window. (In fact, stopping the sun’s heat before it penetrates windows and openings is up to seven times more effective than using interior blinds or curtains. 1 ) When using an internal shade, such as blinds or a curtain, the short-wave radiation (light) passes through the glass and hits the shade. Depending on the colour of the shade, some percentage will be reflected straight back out the window, but the rest will be absorbed by the shade itself, effectively heating it up. Some part of the incoming short-wave radiation will also already have converted into long-wave radiation (heat waves). Thus, even though internal and external shades seem to be doing the same job, their effect on the performance of the building is quite different. 1 A quote by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, taken from the article ’Shade screens and window treatments’, by Arizona public service APS company,1999.Retrieved from www.apsc.com; May,2005.
7. The Problem Introduction The efficient design of a window shade - that which allows the Sun to penetrate in winter but not in summer - is a basic requirement that every architect aspires to achieve.

10. The Proposed Solution Introduction The proposed solution is a software /calculator that is different from the available software, in that it is a Specific software, as opposed to all the existing General software. While a generalized software can respond to any global location; it can be quite time-consuming and complicated and therefore would always require extensive pre-calculations. A specific software on the other hand may not have global appeal but it can significantly ease the situation for a specified target audience. It becomes simpler for the user as it is possible to programme into it almost all the pre-calculations that would otherwise be required of the user.

18. Calculations Software Development The equations for other shade types were derived from these basic ones, and programmed into the calculator. For example, for angled walls and angled horizontal louvers, the equations are: Length ‘l’ = (h/n) sin ( b- VSA) sin (180 – a – b + VSA) width = depth x sin a sin (180 – b ) where H=height of opening a = angle of inclination of shade, b = angle of inclination of wall Additional checks were introduced in the software to give a value of zero for the orientations when a shade is not required. a b
25. Self-Verification Analysis 1: Verification The shade parameters, as calculated by the Shade Calculator through different sheets are identical, even though completely different formulae are used; The simple Horizontal shade calculator uses formulae available in literature. E.g. D=H/tanVSA The Horizontal shade calculator for angled walls and angled shade uses formulae derived through this research. E.g. D=Hxsin(b-VSA)/sin(180 o - a-b+VSA)

33. The Shade Calculator’s Future Conclusion The focus of this research was to produce a simple equation calculator that requires input of window parameters and orientation, etc. and gives results in terms of shade parameters. Comparison with existing softwares…just as accurate?
34. The Shade Calculator’s Future Conclusion The use of a familiar environment (Microsoft Excel) should hopefully ensure that it remains user-friendly and easy to operate. Making it city-specific ensured that most of the climatic data, and other related tedious calculations have already been fed into it; making the input requirements minimum. The end result is hopefully simple, easy to comprehend and simple to operate. The present computer-friendly generation of architects should find this an extremely easy and quick method of shade calculation, and this calculator should hopefully prove very useful and may promote a more pro-sustainable attitude from the designers.
