Notification of 2 day advanced DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus workshop.
Advanced DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus Workshop
Design Builder Software is holding a 2-Day DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus “advanced” building energy simulation workshop in the campus of Catholic University of America in Washington DC on Monday and Tuesday, 14 – 15 December 2009. The workshop is being lead by Dr. Mahabir Bhandari of DesignBuilder Software (USA) and James V. Dirkes II, P.E., LEED AP of The Building Performance Team. Both personnel have extensive experience in the use and teaching of building energy simulation programs. Participants will use the DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus suite extensively over the two days.
Day1 will be focused on developing building geometry with DesignBuilder, importing from 2D-DXF and 3D gbXML import from CAD. Various DB features, including complex geometry, template and Model Data Management, Schedules, Heating Design, Cooling Design, Simulation options, parametric runs will be discussed.
Day2 will be focused on modelling systems using EnergyPlus. A simple 5-zone model will be exported from DesignBuilder to EnergyPlus. The native IDF Editor will be used to modify and expand DesignBuilder's standard HVAC system templates to better reflect the desired HVAC system. A series of HVAC design upgrades will be tested. These could include, adding AHUs, supply air reset control, VSD drives, low turn down ratios or upgrading air cooled to water cooled plant. The model will be modified to meet ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G requirements
This workshop is a great opportunity for training staff in predicting the energy/greenhouse performance of buildings. These skills would be invaluable in the current tough economic climate juxtaposed with increasing concern about global warming. Projects that do proceed, either new or renovation, will have an increased focus on sustainable performance. We look forward to meeting with you at the workshop.
