Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Teaching high school students to simulate with Energy+

["jeannieboef@xxxxxxxxx" <jeannieboef@xxxxxxxxx>]

1) Have the students download a trial version of designbuilder and install
2) open a sample building and simulate a year and look at the yearly energy usage
3) on the openings tab, set the percent glazing to 30% at building level and resimulate and compare the results
4) explore other options like daylighting control under the lighting tab, resimulate and compare
5) continue in this fashion and explore other factors such as shading, insulation, reducing internal loads, orientation,etc.

I have been tasked with helping some advanced high school students understand and simulate net-zero and energy efficient buildings. I would like to use energy plus to provide some data that the students can quickly relate to. It would need to be free and simple to use.
