LAST CALL! This workshop begins in TWO WEEKS!
Big Ladder Software would like to remind everyone that we are leading a workshop series in Boston in July! This workshop series will offer training opportunities for EnergyPlus and DesignBuilder at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
EnergyPlus for Practitioners (July 15-16)
DesignBuilder Simulation Training (July 17-18)
EnergyPlus for Practitioners
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.
This
two-day workshop focuses 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.
This two-day workshop is an excellent opportunity to deepen your
DesignBuilder knowledge using features of version 6 of the software. The course is suitable for new and experienced users alike and is structured to give you plenty of worked examples so you can â??learn by doingâ??. No experience with
EnergyPlus is required. If you are a new
DesignBuilder user, you can use a free 30-day trial license for the workshop.
