Lectures
Members of our Laboratory are actively involved in academic teaching at ETH Zurich, EPFL, and other institutions. We lead several core courses and contribute to others through guest lectures, exercise sessions, or project supervision.
Lectures taught by UESL members
🏢 Whole Building Simulation (ETH Zurich)
This Master's level course covers whole building simulation for the design, operation, and retrofitting of buildings and districts. Key topics include energy performance analysis, HVAC and renewable integration, parametric studies, model calibration, and uncertainty quantification. Students critically assess results, conduct optimizations, and apply simulation to support sustainable building practices.
