[Bldg-sim] TRAINING: Free OpenStudio Webinar January 16th @ 1:00pm

[Randy Wilkinson]

That was a disappointment.  I was expecting to learn "how to develop 
complex energy models and effective modeling workflows, apply 
crowd-sourced model components and improvements, and analyze models to 
rapidly identify design and improvement opportunities, and more.."  I 
got none of that. What I got was a overview of the capabilities and a 
slide show with static slides.  The speaker said the software would do 
those things, but did not demonstrate anything.  Basically, the same 
information I already got from the OpenStudio web site.  When audience 
members asked for specifics and demonstrations, a call screener said 
answers would be provided later.  The speaker spoke too fast and 
finished almost 30 minutes early.  There was plenty of time to do at 
least a simple demonstration.

I'm wondering if NREL chose the right people to provide OpenStudio 
training.  Based on their performance last Thursday, I'd say no.
