[Bldg-sim] IES<VE> 2 Day Workshop @ SimBuild 2010

[Kendra Milton]

IES will offer two full days of training at SimBuild 2010. These can be
taken together or separately. A brief overview is provided below.
Details are provided on the registration page:

*	Day 1 - Intermediate 3D Modeling, Daylighting, Loads Analysis,
and HVAC Systems: Introduction to version 6.1 of the IES <Virtual
Environment>; Importing from SketchUp and Revit; Daylighting; Loads and
HVAC system sizing; and Detailed modeling of ASHRAE 90.1 PRM systems and
controls (Part A).
*	Day 2 - Advanced and Building-Integrated Systems Modeling:
Detailed modeling of ASHRAE 90.1 PRM systems and controls (Part B);
Building-type-driven HVAC configurations; Build and run DOAS with active
chilled-beams; Mixed-mode systems modeling and controls; Heat
exchangers, indirect-evaporative cooling, energy recovery, heat pipes,
runaround loops, and desiccant wheels; UFAD systems modeling.

transition from cooling to heating mode. 

 

 

About  IES <Virtual Environment>

 

The IES <Virtual Environment> offers detailed, comprehensive, and
integrated dynamic simulation of daylighting, thermal loads, HVAC
systems, controls, and building energy performance. With the VE-Pro
applications, users can take a project from climate analysis and
schematic 3D modeling through initial assessments of daylighting,
energy, and carbon footprint and on to advanced daylighting analysis,
detailed thermal-comfort and loads analysis for critical spaces, and
finally to whole-building energy modeling and reporting for the
LEED/ASHRAE-90.1 Performance Rating Method. 

Fully integrated building and systems modeling capabilities range from
natural ventilation, mixed-mode operation, and controls to detailed
modeling of conventional and non-standard systems and configurations.
These include customizable CV and VAV systems, underfloor air
distribution (UFAD), displacement ventilation (DV), indirect-direct
evaporative cooling (IDDE), dedicated outside air systems (DOAS),
CO2-driven demand-controlled ventilation (DCV), radiant panels and
hydronic slabs, passive and active chilled beams, desiccant
dehumidification, double-skin facades, hot-water and chilled-water
plants, heat pumps, absorption chillers, waterside free cooling, and
much more.
