Structured building performance simulation training — taught by the same practitioner who runs BEI Advisory on live India projects. Not a course. A professional toolkit built from real compliance work.
Building physics fundamentals, thermal simulation principles, climate data and Indian climate zones. How simulation software works — inputs, outputs, calibration and the modelling decisions that affect compliance outcomes. Suitable for architects, junior engineers and sustainability graduates with no prior simulation experience.
Complete workflow for building whole-building energy models for ECBC 2017 prescriptive and trade-off compliance. Model setup from architectural drawings, envelope definition, internal loads, HVAC specification, simulation run and output interpretation. State-specific documentation requirements covered. Practical compliance exercises using live project data.
Dynamic HVAC system modelling — system templates, plant and controls, part-load performance, commissioning schedules and occupancy patterns. How HVAC simulation integrates with the whole-building energy model. HVAC documentation for ECBC and GRIHA energy credits. Cooling load calculations and system sizing validation.
Climate-based daylight modelling — spatial daylight autonomy, annual daylighting metrics, glare probability analysis and solar penetration studies. GRIHA mandatory daylighting credit requirements and documentation. Shading system optimisation. How daylighting simulation informs facade and orientation decisions at design development stage.
Computational fluid dynamics for natural ventilation analysis and indoor air quality assessment. Airflow modelling, wind-driven and buoyancy-driven ventilation, facade opening strategy validation. ASHRAE 55 and NBC 2016 thermal comfort analysis. When CFD evidence is required for compliance and how to structure it for authority reviewers.
Custom training for architecture firms, engineering consultancies, government bodies and universities. Content calibrated to your team’s existing capability level, your project types, your state and climate zone focus. Delivered on-site or remotely. Minimum cohort: 6 participants. Academic partnerships for BArch, BTech and MTech sustainability modules available.

All prices are indicative. Final fees confirmed on enrolment. Group discounts available. Instalment options on request.
Every module is built from real BEI Advisory project work — not academic exercises or textbook examples. You learn the same approaches, in the same software environment, with the same documentation standards used on live compliance projects.
All simulation exercises use India-specific climate data — TMY files for Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and other major cities. Every ECBC module is calibrated to the correct climate zone for your practice location.
Simulation accuracy is only half the job. Every course includes the documentation workflow — how to structure outputs, what authority reviewers look for, and how to build a submission pack that gets approved on first attempt.
Udeet Methala teaches all BEI Academy courses directly. There is no separation between the person who runs the advisory practice and the person who runs the training. What you learn is what he does on projects today.
All courses available online with live sessions. On-site delivery available in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai. Corporate cohorts delivered at your office anywhere in India.
Every course concludes with a real-project simulation exercise — participants model a building from drawings, run the simulation, produce the compliance outputs and draft the submission narrative. The output is usable on the next project.
Individual enrolment or corporate cohort — we’ll confirm course availability, schedule and fees within 24 hours.
