在节能暖通空调系统的设计过程中，设计师的直觉作用相对较小，因为能耗取决于建筑物内或建筑物与环境之间发生的复杂热现象。由于考虑了大量变量，并对几种设计方案进行了分析，因此使用计算机技术至关重要。本文介绍了作者在如何设计和建造舒适节能建筑方面的教学经验，重点介绍了两门课程:建筑环境和建筑节能分析与保护。计算机技术的使用基于三个层次的策略:（1）理解问题和可能的解决方案；（2） 了解并使用可用软件；（3）软件开发。本文列举了几个长期项目的例子。主要结论是，计算机在教育过程中发挥作用，但只是提供帮助。 计算机模拟分析和决策过程属于人类专家。引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。，第95卷，第。2.

In the design process of energy-efficient HVAC systems, the designer’s intuition plays a relatively small role, since energy consumption depends on complex thermal phenomena occurring in buildings or between buildings and the environment. Due to the large number of variables considered and the analysis of several design alternatives, the use of computerized techniques is essential. This paper presents the author’s experience in teaching how to design and build comfortable and energyefficient buildings and is focused on two courses: building environment and building energy analysis and conservation. The use of computerized techniques is based on a three-level strategy: (1) understanding of problems and possible soulutions; (2) understanding and use of availble software; and (3) software development. Several examples of term projects are presented. The main conclusion is that computers have their role in the educational process but only to provide assistance. Analysis of the computer simulation and the decision-making process belong to the human expert.
