John Ericsson Institutet
Leif Persson is teaching the students studying to Property manager, Property technician at John Ericsson Institutet in Gothenburg and Malmö. They have been using BIM Energy for two years in a row now in the course Property technology. After an introduction lecture from Strusoft, the students are working in groups with their projects in BIM Energy.
Describe how you are using BIM Energy to the students
The students are working on a project for an existing building where they are evaluating renovation measures. Indata in the energy model are changed to be able to compare the energy savings from different measures. The energy model of the building’s energy consumption is set up quick and easy in BIM Energy, you can observe the result and compare the scenarios.
How did the students work previously in this course segment?
Previously they performed hand calculation of individual building parts, whereas the result from BIM Energy presents the energy consumption of the entire building. The students also get to try a modern energy calculation software which they will benefit from in their future working life.
