[Bldg-sim] Proposed Energy Modeling Conference - Your Input Requested

[Paul Carey]

Dear Lynn,

 

I'd agree with James on this.  Model calibration is something that is a bit
of a dark art.  We carry it out for some projects, but it isn't easy in many
tools (not even in E+, though we have done it a number of times in this) and
I'm sure a lot of people would benefit this.

 

Unfortunately I don't think you could teach a healthy scepticism of results.
That comes naturally or not.

 

In terms of location.  Somewhere that us in the UK can get to easily and
affordably would be nice.

 

Cheers

Paul

Dear Lynn,

 

Thanks for asking!

 

My vote goes to the topic "How do you know if your model is actually working
as intended?"  (in other words, diagnostic and verification practices)  Some
tools have extensive analysis capability and others seem not to.  Energy
Plus can report on almost anything you desire, while Trace 700 seems only
able to give summary reports.

 

Re: Location, Chicago is central, and vibrant - not a bad choice (especially
for someone form West Michigan!)

ASHRAE is in the early planning stages of an Energy Modeling Conference for
the spring of 2011 that is targeted for consulting engineering
practitioners.  We are looking for input on the appropriate topics and/or
session types you would like to see at such a conference. Some topic
thoughts are: energy simulation, BIM, CFD and daylight modeling. 

 

What conference content would prompt you to travel and attend such a
conference? Please be as specific as possible in describing what you would
like covered at the conference. What do you want to learn? What location(s)
in the US would draw the largest attendance, in your opinion? 

 

Personal regards,

 

Lynn G. Bellenger, PE, FASHRAE
