Goal
- Supplement the theoretical and practical foundations of BIM and BEM for use in solving architectural problems in the process of study and future professional activities.
Objective
- - to master 3D-modeling for the energy assessment of the project at the design stage; - learn how to evaluate energy efficiency using the built-in VIP-Core dynamic simulation mechanism; - master the interpretation of the energy assessment of projects at the design stage by changing the input parameters; - learn how to present ideas, problems and solutions for energy assessment of projects to subject matter experts.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
- Determine and interpret the energy assessment of projects at the design stage.
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
- - build an information model of the BIM building; - create an energy model of the BEM building; - enter the parameters of the properties of structures, openings, environment, focusing on the functional purpose of the building; - choose suitable energy sources; - receive an energy efficiency report in different formats; - evaluate the energy efficiency of the building project at the design stage; - apply the acquired skills at the current level of educational activity, in master's work, as well as in professional activities.
Learning outcome: formation of judgments

Information and communication (including distance educational) technologies.
Assessment of the student's knowledge
Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.
| Period | Type of task | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 rating | Development of building information model (BIM) | 0-100 |
| Building energy model (BEM) | ||
| Set design properties and additional options. | ||
| Functional purpose of the premises. | ||
| 2 rating | Selection of building engineering systems and energy sources. | 0-100 |
| Initiation of energy simulation. | ||
| Energy Efficiency Assessment: VIP-Core Dynamic Simulation Mechanism. Energy efficiency report. | ||
| Total control | Exam | 0-100 |
The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type
| Type of task | 90-100 | 70-89 | 50-69 | 0-49 |

| Excellent | Good | Satisfactory | Unsatisfactory |
Evaluation form
The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:
- 40% of the examination result;
- 60% of current control result.
The final grade is calculated by the formula:
| FG = 0,6 | MT1+MT2 | +0,4E |
| 2 |
Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;
E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.
Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:
The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
| Alphabetical grade | Numerical value | Points (%) | Traditional grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | 95-100 | Excellent |
| A- | 3.67 | 90-94 | |
| B+ | 3.33 | 85-89 | Good |
| B | 3.0 | 80-84 | |
| B- | 2.67 | 75-79 | |
| C+ | 2.33 | 70-74 | |
| C | 2.0 | 65-69 | Satisfactory |
| C- | 1.67 | 60-64 | |
| D+ | 1.33 | 55-59 | |
| D | 1.0 | 50-54 | |
| FX | 0.5 | 25-49 | Unsatisfactory |
| F | 0 | 0-24 |
