*Ask a Modeler: How Well do Building Simulation Programs Model Thermal
Bridging?*

This month Som S. Shrestha, R&D Staff Scientist at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, replies: *"Dear Learning, Building envelopes are
non-homogeneous, so heat transfer through a building envelope is not one
dimensional due to thermal bridging. However, thermal bridges cannot be
explicitly modeled in most whole-building simulation tools, including
EnergyPlus..."*

*June 17: Energy Storage Systems, DER, and Decarbonization - IBPSA-USA
Education Committee*

Eric Mannarino from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) will
discuss the role of energy storage in the decarbonization of our electrical
system. He will also touch on the Storage-VET and DER-VET software that
EPRI has produced to model energy storage systems (both BTM and FTM).

*July 23: BIM to BEM: “Mission Impossible” or “Pursuit of Happiness”? -
IBPSA-USA Research Committee*

This webinar walks you through common issues faced when translating
geometry from BIM to BEM. Subsequently, the presenters offer a few
workarounds based on their experience and workflows that “alleviate” the
pain of creating “clean” BEM geometry from BIM.

*Aug. 12-14: News about the 2020 Building Performance Analysis Conference
and SimBuild*

With your safety top of mind, the 2020 Building Performance Analysis
Conference and SimBuild will not take place in Chicago, IL, August 12-14,
2020. Instead, we will present the conference in a new and convenient
virtual format. Additional details concerning the virtual conference will
be available in the coming weeks
