Maximizing the Return on Investment from your EnergyPlus Model

Building on the content in our previous "Making EnergyPlus Viable for Industry Energy Modelers" webinar    • Making EnergyPlus viable for industry...   , we'll demonstrate how you can extract significantly more value and maximize the return on the time you have already invested in an EnergyPlus model.

The webinar covers the aspects of the previous webinar that generated the most interest and questions, including easy ways to model sloping or difficult ground topology, and modelling and editing more advanced geometry including complex roof shapes; using the EnergyPlus Airflow Network within DesignBuilder so you can see how much faster and easier it is to model natural ventilation and mixed mode strategies for passive design, and to quantify the overheating risk in naturally ventilated buildings; additional calculations such as cost, daylighting and CFD using the same model as for your EnergyPlus energy/thermal/comfort simulations; using optimization for design and retrofit projects; and how DesignBuilder’s scripting tools can be used to customise your model behaviour.
