In this OpenStudio tutorial, you will walk through the creation of a building from start to finish, just like it is done in the "real world". There is nothing else like this course! Not even close!

Now includes a 1-hour OpenStudio walkthrough/demo. This focused session shows a practical workflow for setting up required inputs, using building defaults, working with schedules and libraries, creating systems, resolving common errors, and reviewing results.

The walkthrough is designed to help you avoid hidden setup problems that often lead to OpenStudio and EnergyPlus errors later in the model.

Save yourself from the painful learning curve!  Start today and you'll save yourself thousands in wasted time and travel expenses.

Plus, you will learn quickly without dealing with the disruptions of a classroom. This course takes 2 days in a classroom environment, but some superstar users have finished it in 4 hours with great results.

You will start with a set of drawings and create an OpenStudio file. You will draw the 3D building and then take the model to completion by adding HVAC systems, plants, economics and more.

Instead of telling you about "what the program does", we show you how to complete a real project step by step. 

There is no other training/tutorial that will teach you this much, this efficiently.
