Learn how to use eQUEST and learn energy modeling fundamentals
If you want to learn how to use eQUEST from a live instructor OR if you work with energy modelers and want to communicate with them, this course is for you.
(If you prefer on-demand content - we have a vast library ready here)
the LIVE workshop will teach you how to run energy models using eQUEST, while teaching standard energy modeling concepts. Whether you are brand new or you have some experience, you will learn to model as we follow a customized flow chart and create a model in eQUEST. Together we will create and customize a building in eQUEST, beginning with the wizards, adding details, and moving all the way to detailed mode. Skip the pain of learning on your own through helpful hints that usually require years of experience.
You will finish with the ability to use eQUEST and knowledge of concepts that allow you to readily learn any other energy modeling software.
Instead of Powerpoint, we will walk through a real model, and show you how to use eQUEST, using a one of a kind incremental approach.
To keep it engaging, Bob ad-libs. He has a tendency to interject some random insight or analogy; it's usually insightful or at least funny.
