Certificate of Advanced Studies HES-SO in Energy Analysis of Buildings
. Context. The energy renovation of the existing building stock - which represents almost 50% of the energy consumed in Switzerland - is a major issue of energy policy for the years to come. In order to support the 2050 energy strategy and the various cantonal energy policies, this CAS aims to train experts capable of analyzing the situation of an existing building from an energy point of view and to propose a relevant renovation strategy. This CAS is based on the Cantonal Energy Certificate for Buildings (CECB®). The latter was created by the cantons. It is uniform throughout Switzerland in accordance with the requirements of Article 9 of the Federal Law on Energy (LEne, RS 730.0). It certifies the efficiency of the building envelope as well as the overall energy performance in the form of a scale ranging from A to G.Accompanied by an advisory report (CECB® Plus), it becomes a compass for the owner wishing to undertake an energy renovation of his or her property.The CECB® is becoming an essential element. In French-speaking Switzerland, all the cantons are implementing it, each in its own way, either by making it compulsory in order to obtain subsidies, or by making it compulsory in certain situations (sale of buildings, large buildings built before 1990, replacement of fossil-fuel heat producers). Finally, it should be noted that the CEBS® is also in the process of becoming a sine qua non condition for certain subsidy applications within the framework of the Buildings Program. Objectives of the training. - To be able to understand and explain the issues related to the renovation of buildings- To recognize the different types of buildings and to be able to assess their construction standards- To know the evolution of the materials used in construction and to understand its impact on the energy performance of the building- To know the possibilities of heat production and the energy efficiency of the building To know the possibilities of heat and hot water production- To be able to analyze existing buildings from an energy point of view- To understand the existing measurement tools and calculation software- To be able to prepare renovation plans and propose choices of actions, in particular with the help of the CECB® Plus- Know how to calculate and present the profitability of a renovation project.. These objectives will be evaluated during a certificate work in situation, implementing the recommended approach. The aim will be to propose a renovation strategy using the CECB® tool.

Certificate of Advanced Studies HES-SO en Coordination BIM
Context. Digital tools are transforming the management of construction processes, allowing for new flexibility in the development and execution of projects. The entire life cycle of a structure is concerned, from the preliminary project to its operation. This method, which drastically changes our way of building, is called BIM (Building Information Modelling). It is thanks to its potential to increase the productivity of the construction industry that it is increasingly becoming the method par excellence. In the project phase, it favors a shared reflection. In the execution phase, it offers various possibilities for collaborative work through interoperable data formats and model integration platforms. Finally, it facilitates the transfer of data during the acceptance phase for use during the operation phase. Managing the orderly and coordinated exchange of information, the keystone of the BIM method, requires, in addition to solid skills in the construction trades, an ability to integrate and communicate in a global process. Training objectives. At the end of the training, participants will be able to : Assess BIM maturity levels;. Develop BIM strategies adapted to the project;. Identify the Owner's needs and translate them into efficient BIM coordination methods;. Design and manage a common, interoperable, multi-flow data environment;. Control the quality of exchanged data;. Interact with AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) technologies such as. Geographic Information System (GIS), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Facility. Management (FM), Computerized Management and Maintenance (CMMS).
