Advanced Building Energy Modelling

The Advanced Building Energy modelling course is focused on developing skills that energy modellers utilize in creating energy models for buildings with complex systems and using those models to conduct in-depth analyses of energy performance. This approach is now more frequently implemented for new construction projects as well as deep energy retrofits in existing buildings that need to meet the increasingly more stringent energy efficiency requirements of building codes.

This course is designed for participants that completed the Building Energy Modelling Professional course or have similar knowledge. It is assumed that participants understand how building systems operate and have developed energy models in EnergyPlus for buildings with conventional systems that resulted in working energy model files. This two-day course is focused on modelling and analyzing advanced high-performance building systems using hands-on exercises and case studies.

The Advance Building Energy Modelling course provides participants with the knowledge required to model high performance buildings designed to meet increasingly more stringent building code requirements.
