Energy Modeling requires very specific calculations and conversions.  We thought that developing a nice set of online tools would be beneficial to the community.  So today we want to introduce the Energy Modeling Fan Calculator.   This is the first in a series of tools we'll be releasing.  Head over to the calculator if you want to try it out.  Continue reading this blog for a more in depth discussion about the Fan Calculators relationship with the major energy modeling programs.

TRACE 700 has an armada of features. Some of them are way under-utilized. Let's take a moment to look at a few of them and see how they can be used:

The thermostat driftpoints are the temperatures that a room is allowed to drift up to or down to during periods of low or no occupancy. If the room temperature starts to go outside the driftpoint temperatures, the cooling or heating equipment will be activated, assuming the equipment is available to operate. TRACE will allow the room to drift up to or down to the driftpoint temperatures during the hours in which the people schedule for the room reads 5% or less; if the people schedule reads greater than 5%, the cooling thermostat will try to control the room to the design setpoints.

The thermostat schedules allow the user to enter heating and cooling setpoints based on time instead of occupancy. Thermostat schedules are created...

What CMP category do the courses count for?

All of our current courses fall under the CMP category “Project systems and energy impacts”

Are any of your courses LEED Specific?

Yes, “LEED for energy-modelers” has 3 LEED specific CE hours under the BD+C category

How many chances do I get to pass the final exams in your courses?

Our final exams allow you as many retakes as needed, provided you maintain an active subscription

How do these credits affect me?

Well, that depends on your LEED credentials!
