We are holding a 2-Day
DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus “advanced” building energy simulation workshop
at Pacific Energy Center, downtown San Francisco on Wednesday and
Thursday, 17 � 18 June 2009. The workshop is being lead by Dr Mahabbir Bhandari
of DesignBuilder Software (USA) and PC Thomas of Team Catalyst Pty Ltd
(Australia). Both personnel have extensive experience in the use and teaching
of building energy simulation programs. Participants will use the DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus
suite extensively over the two days.
Day1 will be focused on developing building geometry with
DesignBuilder, importing from 2D-DXF and 3D gbXML import from CAD. Various
DB features, including complex geometry, template and Model Data
Management, Schedules, Heating Design, Cooling Design, Simulation options, parametric
runs will be discussed.
Day2 will be focused
on modelling systems using EnergyPlus. A simple 5-zone model will be
exported from DesignBuilder to EnergyPlus. The native IDF Editor will be
used to develop HVAC Template options to generate a VAV system. A series
of HVAC design upgrades will be tested. These could include, adding AHUs,
supply air reset control, VSD drives, low turn down ratios, low static pressure
ductwork, or upgrading air cooled to water cooled plant.
This
workshop is a great opportunity for training staff in predicting the
energy/greenhouse performance of buildings. These skills would be
invaluable in the current tough economic climate juxtaposed with increasing
concern about global warming. Projects that do proceed, either new or
renovation, will have an increased focus on sustainable performance. We
look forward to meeting with you at the workshop.
