Details and registrationWorkshop Description
This two-day workshop is an excellent opportunity for new users to become familiar with using version 5 of the DesignBuilder
software. One of the highlights of version 5 is the new capability of
automatically generating a baseline model for ASHRAE Standard 90.1,
which will be showcased at the end of the workshop. The workshop is
structured to give you plenty of hands-on exercises so you can â??learn by
doingâ??, and no previous experience with EnergyPlus is required.
