The Advanced Training is designed for energy consultants, HERS raters, mechanical engineers, and other industry professionals actively modeling multi-family buildings using EnergyPro.  Prior experience with Title 24 documentation and use of EnergyPro software is required for participants of the Advanced Building Simulation Training workshop.  This workshop will not cover basics in the use of EnergyPro.

The workshop will focus on techniques and tips for using EnergyPro to model energy efficiency measures typically used to cost-effectively maximize multi-family building energy efficiency.  In a small group setting, attendees will use plans and energy models of real multi-family projects to consider several energy efficiency options.  The exercises provide a hands-on opportunity to learn how to explore the energy impact, and Title 24 compliance margin impact, of several energy efficient scenarios using the EnergyPro* software program.

  
Modeling topics will include:

·     Modeling of multiple central domestic water heating distribution systems

·     Combined hydronic water and space heating systems in high rise buildings

·     4 pipe fan coil systems served by central systems (chillers, cooling towers, pumps)vs. split system HVAC systems

·     Variable Refrigerant Volume Systems

·     Correctly modeling buildings with out cooling systems

·     High performance envelope systems

**Please note that a minimum of two years experience using EnergyPro is required, basics will not be taught. Participants are also required to bring their own laptops with the latest version of EnergyPro software installed.
