Workshop Details
Energy Modeling is one of the most difficult and challenging aspects of the
LEED process. This hands-on workshop will be unique in its level of detail
and information for modelers with some previous experience. It is intended
for energy modelers with some experience who struggle to create high quality
models that meet LEED Documentation requirements and accurately predict
building performance. Attendees will be led through the modeling and
documentation process by a team of veteran modelers who have successfully
navigated the LEED review process, as both modelers and reviewers. The
workshop goals are fourfold:
1. You'll have a more detailed understanding of the prevailing simulation
tools, their capabilities, limitations and how (or when) to use them based
on your project type. Supporting calculation tools will also be provided,
streamlining your workflow.
2. You'll have a better understanding of the energy code (ASHRAE 90.1) and
the critical parameters that have a significant impact on energy
performance. This will help you avoid "surprise" changes to your baseline
that adversely affect energy results.
3. You'll have a better understanding of the LEED review process and
documentation requirements. This will help you cut the amount of time spent
on costly post-review model updates.
4. Implement the new modeling requirements in LEED V4 including ASHRAE
90.1- 2010
Specific topics include, "what's new in v4, generating custom performance
curves," and many others. See the full list on the registration page. You
can also contact us
specific questions about the content.
The workshop will be held on Tuesday, November 17th. Seating is limited so
register
early. Full day workshop pricing starts at $250. This workshop is worth 7
hours of continuing education credit.
