Tools, DOE Roadmap, BEMP Certification Featured at ASHRAE's Energy Modeling Conference April 4-6
ASHRAE's Energy Modeling Conference: Tools for Designing High Performance Buildings, April 4-6, 2011, ASHRAE Headquarters, Atlanta, Ga., will provide hands-on modelers and principals with the information to better harness the power of energy modeling tools.
The strength of the conference is its focus on different software tools. The conference addresses:
* How things get modeled and the impact of input data on energy models;
* What the strengths are of different software products in modeling specific applications;
* A comparison on how different tools address specific systems and
* Demonstrations, offered in a group session and individually by vendor sponsors, of software tools
Some of the software tools to be presented include ArchiCAD, Apache, Autodesk, Bentley, Ecotect, EnergyPlus, EPGUI, eQuest, Graphisoft, IES Virtual Environment, OpenStudio, Revit, Trane TRACE and TRNSYS.
Keynote speakers are Lynn G. Bellenger, P.E., ASHRAE president and William J. Worthen, American Institute of Architecture's (AIA) national director and resource architect for sustainability.
In addition, on April 6, the U.S. Department of Energy is launching its development roadmap for EnergyPlus, OpenStudio, EPGUI and other tools. See proposed changes and provide feedback on the roadmap and on DOE's general activities in the simulation tools area.
Registration is $500 ($450, ASHRAE, AIA and USGBC members). Seating is limited - register today! Advance registration closes March 21.
