Attendees will learn to use Archsim Energy Modeling, a plugin that brings
fully featured EnergyPlus simulations to Rhino/Grasshopper and thus links
the EnergyPlus simulation engine with a powerful parametric design and CAD
modeling environment.

Archsim allows you to effortlessly create complex multi-zone energy models,
simulate them and visualize results without ever switching between tools.
Archsim supports advanced daylighting and shading controls, ventilation
modules such as wind and stack natural ventilation, airflow-networks,
simple HVAC, photovoltaics and phase changing materials. It is typically
used for rapid early design exploration where building shape, window to
wall ratios, facade and glazing systems and passive approaches such as
shading and natural ventilation potential are tested for their impact on
the building environmental performance and comfort. Simulation inputs such
as model geometry, materiality, constructions and zone usage profiles are
fully parametric and can be coupled with optimization algorithms within
Grasshopper.
