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

[Robin Mitchell]

I would agree with the assessment below. It was not at all what I was
expecting. Interesting if you are a software developer, but otherwise, not. 

 

I think that the presenter did not know who the intended audience was. Or
the presentation was not marketed properly, so that the right audience would
attend.

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.
