Dear Fellow simulators,
Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago is hosting 3-Days
DesignBuilder Workshop from May 26-28. This
full 3-days course is being offered for the
first time in North America.
The workshop is being lead by Dr Mahabir Bhandari of
DesignBuilder Software (USA) and Dr. Paul Carey of Zero Energy Design (UK).
Both personnel have extensive experience in the use and teaching of building
energy simulation programs.
The course is aimed at new and less experienced
DesignBuilder simulation users. After this course, trainees will be able to:
ü Enter
building geometry either from scratch or from DXF, or other floor plan data,
making best use of the DesignBuilder productivity features.
ü Enter
data on activity, building constructions, glazing, and solar shading, schedules
of building operation, lighting systems and HVAC systems.
ü Create
components and templates and import/export these between projects.
- Understand the various model options.
ü Size
heating and cooling systems using EnergyPlus.
ü Run
EnergyPlus simulations using real weather data and check building energy
consumption, CO2 emissions, occupant comfort etc.
ü Carry
out daylighting and natural ventilation analyses.
ü Work
with Simple HVAC (Compact HVAC is not covered in detail).
ü Export
EnergyPlus IDF data for use outside DesignBuilder (the course does not cover
working with EnergyPlus IDF data in detail)
ü Set
up external CFD analyses from site data and internal analyses from models
incorporating assemblies, run CFD simulations and review results. Understand
how to set up models that will provide converged results.
Registration fee is $600.00. The attendees will get a fully
functional 90 days evaluation copy of DesignBuilder. For more information and
