DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus Trainings Scheduled
DesignBuilder is a state-of-the-art whole building energy analysis software tool for evaluating building energy, carbon, lighting and comfort performance. Developed to simplify the process of building simulation, DesignBuilder allows you to rapidly compare the function and performance of building designs and deliver results on time and on budget.
The training will be run using version 4 of DesignBuilder and will cover many of the new and enhanced features such as the new geometric modeler with enhanced block geometry editing, the ability to mirror blocks, add individual surfaces, and produce cut-away/section visualizations. Version 4 can produce ASHRAE 90.1 standards compliant baseline models required of various credit and certification programs including LEED, IRS, etc.
The training is suitable for new and experienced users alike. It is fully modular so that people can attend just one or any number of the days.
The course is organized so that architects could attend only the first 2-3 days and the last 2 days are specific to engineers. The focus on day 3 is low energy and passive design modelling and it would therefore be valuable for both architects and engineers.
