[Bldg-sim] Building Energy Modeling Guidelines

[Pavel Dybskiy]

Jeff,

1) Is it correct to say that any problem discussed on this list can be
answered by referring to some of sources that were just mentioned?

2) More general.. Can you give an estimate on how many professionals in BEM
community (ten, hundred, thousand) are, let's say, 100% educated,
'self-sufficient', capable of demonstrating the ultimate level of knowledge?

3) More specifically.. From your experience, what is an average percentage
of  graduates from your school  who becomes an expert in BEM?

4) More on this... How many BEM schools are there in US? Can you name them?


Thank you,

Pavel Dybskiy
