Section I: Data collection

Week-1 (Mar 30)

Course Introduction

Two-hour discussion of Y2E2 energy systems (Wednesday afternoon or Thursday) to introduce the problem; Y2E2 Energy Performance simulation; Organization of student measurement calibration groups. Students will collect and report data on the assessments they do, the processes they follow and the time to follow those processes.
