[BLDG-SIM] EnergyPlus Training in Ahmedabad & New Delhi, INDIA October 2007

[Rajan Upendra Rawal]

Training workshop – 
\"ENERGYPLUS\"
EnergyPlus is a state of an art building energy simulation software developed by U.S. Department of Energy in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory and several universities.   EnergyPlus models building heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, and electrical, water and other energy flows. While it is based on the most popular features and capabilities of BLAST and DOE-2, it includes many innovative simulation capabilities such as time steps of less than an hour, modular systems and plant integrated with heat balance-based zone simulation, multi zone air flow, thermal comfort, and combined heat and power and photovoltaic systems. 


Importance of Energy Simulation and Energy Modeling tools for commercial buildings has increased by an order of magnitude with the launch of Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) by Bureau of Energy Efficiency. Architectural and Environmental Design Consulting firms are required to model commercial buildings to show compliance with ECBC. At the same time there are very few firms in India with this specialized knowledge and expertise. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn about   (a) The concepts of energy simulation   (b) State-of-the-art building energy simulation software - EnergyPlus 

The skill that architects, consultants, and academicians will learn during this workshop is in tremendous demand because of the unprecedented growth experienced by commercial building sector in India. This workshop will also allow them to develop energy simulation models needed to show compliance with ECBC and LEED rating system. 

The objective of this workshop is to introduce EnergyPlus to modelers who are familiar with the basic concepts of building physics & HVAC systems. The course will cover the mechanics of the building using EnergyPlus with an emphasis on basic concepts that provide a foundation for more advanced applications. Participants will model basic building envelopes and systems using the latest version of EnergyPlus on their own laptop computers. Time for questions and answers will be provided for each topic. The course outline is listed below. This is non residential training workshop.
 

Target Audience 
- Architects designing ECBC compliant and green buildings. 
- Energy analysts for ECBC compliant and green buildings. 
- Building developers of high performance commercial buildings. 
- Academicians engaged in energy simulation dissemination.
