Workshop Description
- Have you ever wanted to truly understand how to use EnergyPlus at the text level?
- Have you been using OpenStudio, DesignBuilder, or another GUI and had the need to peek under the hood to debug a problem or implement a measure or workaround?
This workshop should be a prerequisite for anyone planning to work with EnergyPlus regardless of what user interface you choose.
In
this two-day workshop we focus on the needs of the energy modeling
practitioner in order to get you up to speed and highly productive with
EnergyPlus as quickly as possible. We cover the fundamentals of
EnergyPlus
such as geometry and internal loads while rapidly ramping up to
advanced topics such as HVAC systems and controls. We guide you through
the complexities of the
EnergyPlus syntax, input/output files, documentation, and essential software tools including the
OpenStudio (legacy) plugin for
SketchUp.
Most importantly, we teach you how to use the available resources to
teach yourself going forward. Demonstrations and hands-on exercises are
used extensively throughout. By the end of the workshop, you should be
comfortable with creating, running, and debugging
EnergyPlus models.
