Abstract

With the rapid rise in global energy consumption, decarbonizing and reducing energy waste in buildings is critical. This requires an in-depth understanding of interactions between building systems such as envelope, activities and plug loads, lighting, and air- conditioning design. These are often taught as theoretical subjects in academic curricula, with little emphasis on real-world application. As a result, students often graduate without practical knowledge of how building systems interact and struggle to solve operational issues effectively. Previous researchers have addressed this challenge by developing gamified e-learning modules that simulate building systems to provide realistic virtual experience in solving operational problems.
