This summer school is open to PhD students working in the areas of Building Physics, Building Systems and Energy Efficiency. This intensive nine day course aims to develop student’s expertise in modelling, simulation and design of cost effective Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) including the integration of enabling technologies (e.g. photovoltaics, shading technologies, controls). The class size is a maximum of 30 students made up of approximately 15 Canadian SNEBRN students and 15 students from European Universities associated with the International Association of Building Physics and this provides participants with the opportunity to form professional and academic linkages.

This intensive 9-day course is comprised of daily lectures that include developed examples/problems solved as well as problem solving sessions including design/simulation exercises. A major design and modelling project is due at the end of the course.
