Target Participants:

• Energy Simulators modeling for LEED®, ASHRAE, Estidama and GSAS
• New users of eQuest

Workshop Learning Objectives:

• Energy Modeling as an Essential Design Tool.
• Understand the capabilities of the DOE2.2
• Create a building model using a wizard-template for inputs and switching a detailed edit mode to refine the model with design details creating a baseline to work with and analyze.
• Setting up Thermal Zones, Exterior and Internal Load input to establish a performance baseline.
• Learn input strategies for basic HVAC systems.

Optional Day 2 Workshop Learning Objectives: (Day 1 is Pre-Requisite)

• Simulation to perform compliance analysis and comparison with baseline building.
• Perform system ECMs (Energy Conservation Measures) for increased energy savings and alternative simulation strategy (LEED Compliance will be discussed).
• Work with basic DOE2.2 reports to verify integrity of simulation results.
• Understand how to evaluate results and perform Quality Control checks for “realistic” data.
• Discussion on selected case studies

Participant Requirements:

• Personal Laptop with Windows OS (Mac OS is not workable) and a mouse. We will help with the installation of eQuest v. 3.64 .
• Fees: $900 for Day 1 and $1400 for both days.
