This module introduces the foundational concepts of energy efficiency in buildings as part of the VI series training. It is designed to help learners understand the basic principles that govern how energy is used and managed within residential and commercial buildings.
The module begins with an introductory overview (Intro M1), which sets the stage for understanding key topics such as building energy systems, environmental performance, and sustainability goals. Learners are gradually guided through structured lessons that build a strong foundation for more advanced concepts later in the course.
The VI 1.1 and VI 1.2 lessons introduce essential ideas related to building energy behavior, helping learners understand how different factors influence energy consumption. These include building design elements, environmental conditions, and system performance.
Further lessons such as VI 2.1 and VI 4.1 expand on these foundations by exploring additional technical concepts and practical applications in energy-efficient building design. The content is structured to ensure step-by-step learning progression, making it suitable for beginners as well as those with some background in architecture or engineering.
By the end of this module, learners will have a clear understanding of the core principles of energy efficiency in buildings and will be prepared to continue into more advanced topics in sustainable building design and energy management.
