- Shoebox Energy Modeling: How To Do Quick, Early Simulations
- New Construction & Philadelphia’s Energy Benchmarking Law
- Geothermal Heating and Cooling: A Renewable Energy Technology
Shoebox Energy Modeling: How To Do Quick, Early Simulations will be shown on 12/15/15 in Cambridge at noon. Most whole building energy simulations require a mechanical system design, making them unsuitable for early-design modeling. By the time you’re sizing mechanical systems and debating the finer points of shading mechanisms, you know you’ve missed some really big energy-saving opportunities. Learn from the architects and energy modelers who are turning to shoebox models—with one or just a few zones— to capture big energy, design, and construction savings.

New Construction & Philadelphia’s Energy Benchmarking Law will be shown on 12/16/15 in Boston at 4:30. Energy benchmarking and disclosure mandates are a growing national trend. Although these policies are geared towards existing buildings, there is a unique opportunity to impact the new construction industry as well. This session is intended to educate design professionals, energy services providers, and commercial building owners about the importance of optimizing the energy performance of new buildings and how to achieve the best results using integrated design, energy modeling, EPA's Target Finder, and more. We will also review Philadelphia's energy benchmarking and disclosure law, Year 2 results, and current green codes and standards, which will be beneficial to policy makers who have recently adopted or are considering similar legislation.

Geothermal Heating and Cooling: A Renewable Energy Technology will be shown on 12/21/15 in Worcester at 6pm. This course will cover several critical topics surrounding our industry today in the world of geothermal heating and cooling. You will learn the basic principles of the geothermal heat pump technology and we will discuss some of the misconceptions that often arise in today’s market. You will walk away with an understanding of how and why geothermal heat pumps systems are so incredibly energy efficient and gain a general understanding of how the four basic systems are designed and work for each job application.
