Descriptions
Presentation 1
Title: EnergyPlus for Early Design and Single Zone Studies; David Fannon
AIA, Senior Associate, Senior High Performance Specialist, Syska Hennessy
Group, Inc.
Description: This talk focuses on using COMFEN to run simplified EnergyPlus
models which inform early design-decisions and perform simple single-zone
studies quickly and relatively inexpensively. Using examples from recent
projects, we will discuss ways to use COMFEN both an interface for rapid
simulation and as a ready-made database that can be manipulated outside the
GUI for comparative studies. The presentation concludes with some notes on
analyzing the results, the limitations of the tool and Quality Assurance
processes.
About the Speaker: David is a New York- based member of Syska Hennessy's
High Performance Solutions team, with broad perspective and experience as a
designer, building science researcher and teacher. His expertise lies in
integrating research, analysis, and design to provide luminous, thermal and
acoustic comfort while reducing resource consumption in buildings. In the
summer of 2011 David traveled to Japan as part of the
Architecture.Energy.2011 workshop to assist architects rebuilding after the
natural and nuclear disasters. He spent two years as a student and
researcher in the Center for the Built Environment at the University of
California Berkeley, and is currently completing his degree. David holds a
Bachelor of Architecture degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and
is a registered architect in the State of New York.
Presentation 2
Title: N++: A demonstration of the latest GUI for EnergyPlus; Vladimir
Bajic ? Senior Energy Engineer and Software Developer
Description: N++ is a building energy modeling software created to emulate
the architectural and engineering design process. As a front interface for
the highly capable EnergyPlus simulation engine, N++ allows the user to
input project information into the energy simulation in an intuitive,
highly visible fashion that simplifies the energy modeling process for
designers who are new to energy analysis. During the presentation Mr. Bajic
will demonstrate the construction of an energy model in N++, exemplifying
the innovative features that simplify the construction of complex building
geometries, lighting designs and mechanical systems. The presentation will
also demonstrate the flexible capability of N++ to build multiple
parametric runs and produce an energy code baseline quickly and easily.
About the Speaker: Mr. Bajic is a mechanical engineer with over 16 years of
experience in the HVAC industry as a designer, energy modeler and software
developer. His experience is both international and domestic. Mr.Bajic?s
main focus is building software applications that will help architects and
engineers design more efficient buildings as part of an integrated design
process. Mr. Bajic is currently a senior energy engineer at Viridian Energy
& Environmental (a Vidaris company). He is also the founder of the
ExpertApp (www.expertapp.com), a software company that is specialized in
creating engineering and architectural cad-based applications focused on
integrated sustainable design.
