[Bldg-sim] cheat-gpt

[Karen Walkerman]

This is very timely... We're giving a webinar next Wednesday, Dec 17th at
12pm EST where we discuss our AI approach (and share the EP3 AI
integration).

https://ep3.solutions/webinarsignup/

I firmly believe that the value of energy modeling lies in the ability of
modelers to provide feedback at the SD, CD and value-engineering stages of
a project, and as a tool to catch building operation issues if a model
calibration is completed.

Other than delivering LEED points, a lot of LEED models don't deliver true
value to the project, but that is where projects have a budget for
modeling.

With EP3, the goal is to provide one tool that allows modelers to easily
provide design feedback and develop the final model for LEED, incentive, or
code compliance.

We'll be discussing all of it on Wednesday - come join if you're interested

Best,

Karen
