This one-day workshop aims to quickly launch you into the world of the
OpenStudio graphical user interface for
EnergyPlus. We cover the major features and capabilities of the interface including creating and editing geometry using the full
OpenStudio plugin for
SketchUp, managing space types and internal loads, and configuring HVAC systems and controls. (
OpenStudio measure writing is not covered.) Demonstrations and hands-on exercises are used extensively throughout.
Previous experience with EnergyPlus is recommended but not required.

Workshop Description
This one-day workshop covers advanced modeling topics related to the OpenStudio interface. We cover how to add custom library data (HVAC, building types, etc.), model â??bulkâ?? air flow (infiltration, ventilation, inter-zone mixing, transfer air), configure layout and controls for advanced plant systems, use best practices for debugging energy models, and include thermal bridging effects in energy models. OpenStudio measure writing is not covered. Demonstrations and hands-on exercises are used extensively throughout.
Previous experience with EnergyPlus is recommended but not required.
