Big Ladder Software is pleased to announce that we are offering a new *live
webinar* training series for EnergyPlus! We have had sustained demand after
our upcoming workshops in November and December sold out, so this training
series will include our *EnergyPlus* for Practitioners
<https://training.bigladdersoftware.com/course/energyplus-for-practitioners-2025-01>
 workshop from *January 14 - February 4* as well as our *EnergyPlus* EMS
Controls
<https://training.bigladdersoftware.com/course/energyplus-ems-controls-2025-02>
 workshop from *February 18**-25.* *Save $115 if you register for both
workshops

*EnergyPlus* for Practitioners
<https://training.bigladdersoftware.com/course/energyplus-for-practitioners-2025-01>

*Webinar Dates: *January 14 - February 4, 2025 (one webinar per week on
Tuesday)

*Time*: Start each webinar at 9:30 AM and end at 12 PM or 12:30 PM (US
Mountain Time, UTC-07:00)

*Price: *$695 USD per person


*Workshop Description*

- Have you ever wanted to truly understand how to use *EnergyPlus* at the
text level?
- Have you been using *OpenStudio*, *DesignBuilder*, or another GUI and had
the need to peek under the hood to debug a problem or implement a measure
or workaround?

*This workshop should be a prerequisite for anyone planning to work
with EnergyPlus regardless of what user interface you choose.*

This workshop focuses on the needs of the energy modeling practitioner in
order to get you up to speed and be highly productive with *EnergyPlus* as
quickly as possible. We cover the fundamentals of *EnergyPlus* such as
geometry and internal loads while rapidly ramping up to advanced topics
such as HVAC systems and controls. We guide you through the complexities of
the *EnergyPlus* syntax, input/output files, documentation, and essential
software tools including the *Euclid* plugin for *SketchUp*. Most
importantly, we teach you how to use the available resources to teach
yourself going forward.

Demonstrations and hands-on exercises are used extensively throughout. By
the end of the workshop, you should be comfortable with creating, running,
and debugging *EnergyPlus* models.


*EnergyPlus* EMS Controls
<https://training.bigladdersoftware.com/course/energyplus-ems-controls-2025-02>


*Webinar Dates: *February 18-25, 2025 (one webinar per week on Tuesday)

*Time*: Start each webinar at 9:30 AM and end at 12 PM or 12:30 PM (US
Mountain Time, UTC-07:00)

*Price: *$395 USD per person

*Workshop Description*

This one-day workshop covers the Energy Management System (EMS) capability
of *EnergyPlus*, which allows the implementation of
custom control strategies and calculation routines that override standard
modeling processes within *EnergyPlus*. We cover the *EnergyPlus* Runtime
Language (Erl) that is used to describe the custom control programs, how to
create EMS components (sensors, actuators, output variables, etc.), and how
to debug the execution of EMS programs. Lecture topics include how to
create advanced HVAC control sequences, how to override default HVAC
operation (flow rate, setpoint temperature, capacity, etc.), how to abort a
simulation when operational faults occur, and how to use outputs to
generate trend data. Demonstrations and hands-on exercises are used
extensively throughout.

*Previous experience with EnergyPlus is strongly recommended but not
required. *
