Unlock the Power of EnergyPlus for Building Energy Simulation

Join this exclusive hands-on workshop to master EnergyPlus using EP3, a powerful visual interface that simplifies energy modeling.

EP3 is software that brings EnergyPlus to life. Created by EP3 Solutions, it has provided a secret edge to a small group of firms throughout the last ten years. For the first time, it's available to the general public as a tool to learn EnergyPlus in an entirely new and effective way. See an intro to EP3 here

It makes it make sense. With EP3, you can see exactly what you're modeling in EnergyPlus via text and image.

Beyond the building, you can see the systems and more, allowing you to see and understand what you modeled in EnergyPlus

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced energy modeler, this interactive training will help you create, troubleshoot, and optimize building energy models with ease.

Led by Karen Walkerman, the creator of EP3, this live webinar series will take you step-by-step through EnergyPlus modeling, from defining building geometry to advanced HVAC systems.
