This course introduces various aspects of intelligent building and energy efficient building design. One of the biggest challenges in front of architects is to control the energy consumption in buildings. Computer tools facilitate an accurate estimation of energy consumption in building. Besides, use of IT tools also provides facility for evaluation of practically unlimited number of options and picking out the best one. Further, IT can also be used to control the operation of energy intensive devices and services for optimum operating conditions. This course covers various aspects of energy efficient building design using an infusion of IT into conventional practices. The one week intensive programme covers deliberations related to energy efficiency in buildings including, simulation tools to assist estimation of energy efficiency, sizing and design of passive architectural concepts and cost effectiveness. The course also covers integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with building services systems. With its multidisciplinary approach, the course encourages the use of leading-edge design and technology to support the development of intelligent facilities into the next century whilst addressing business and environmental considerations. This course gives a broad overview of what has been existing in a modern intelligent building and what is being developed by researchers in the areas of architectural science and engineering, electrical and mechanical services in buildings, and intelligent buildings. The course explores the complex balance of intelligent building elements, and includes the introduction to the latest IT tools used in designing and implementing intelligent controls, needs of building occupiers, the internal environment, energy usage, and cost effectiveness. Sustainable/green buildings can be evaluated based on different rating systems. One of the emerging and popular rating systems is LEED rating. Introduction to the LEED rating system along with the case study of the first platinum rated green building in India will also be covered in the course. The course also includes a visit to the Building Science lab in IIIT and Godrej-CII Green Business Center (LEED platinum rated building.This course also covers energy conservation building codes (ECBC) compliance.
Prerequisites: Good understanding of various services in buildings especially illumination and HVAC. Familiarity with CAD and Office applications.

IIIT Hyderabad is an autonomous, self-supporting institution started in 1998 with seed support from the Government of Andhra Pradesh. A major goal of IIIT is to impart a uniquely broad and interdisciplinary IT education of the highest academic quality. This is achieved through an integrated curriculum that consists of a highly diverse set of IT courses, interdisciplinary IT research projects, day-to-day interaction with industry, preparation in entrepreneurship and personality development courses. The Institute offers Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral level programmes in IT, Electronics and Communications, and applications of IT in various domains. The Institute is carrying out advanced Research and Development in Information and Software Technologies and their societal, scientific, industrial and financial applications. This is achieved by having research centres such as:
|
The centre aims at developing and spreading the use of IT for the betterment of buildings in terms of products, processes and performances. CBS emphasizes on studying, applying and improving various IT tools for visualization, optimization, thermal, illumination and acoustic modeling, building automation, intelligent buildings and planning and modeling of other building services. | ||
