We still have a few places remaining on the London DesignBuilder EnergyPlus simulation training event coming up in October. You can attend any of the 6 days according to your particular training requirements. The last 2 days will be of particular interest for those needing to get up to speed with EnergyPlus HVAC system simulations.
* Day 1 - 8th October - Modeller. Learn the skills required to confidently set up building geometry using blocks, zone up and define and select constructions and glazing.
* Day 2 - 9th October - Basic Simulation. Introduction to heating and cooling design, solar gains, shading, lighting, HVAC, data entry and basic simulation.
* Day 3 - 10th October - Natural Ventilation, Daylighting & Renewables Learn how to model low environmental impact design solutions such as: natural ventilation, mixed mode, daylighting and onsite electricity generation through solar PV and wind turbines.
* Day 4 - 11th October - CFD. A full day covering internal and external CFD including the DesignBuilder EnergyPlus CFD link.
* Day 5 - 14th October - Introduction to Detailed HVAC. Getting started with Detailed HVAC including HVAC templates and the basic loop types. Includes packaged zone systems, fan coil units, chilled beams, DOAS etc.
* Day 6 - 15th October - Detailed HVAC. Focus on Detailed HVAC for more complex modelling tasks, with examples on heated floors, plant sequencing and a VAV system, building up to simulating a system with full humidity control.
The cost of the course is 350 GBP per day. Discounts are available for booking 4 or more days or if more than one person from your organisation is attending. You can find out more about the London Simulation training course from:
