*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.

*OpenStudio* graphical user interface for *EnergyPlus*. We cover the major
features and capabilities of the interface including creating and editing
geometry using the full *OpenStudio* plugin for *SketchUp*, managing space
types and internal loads, and configuring HVAC systems and controls. (
*OpenStudio* measure writing is not covered.) Demonstrations and hands-on
exercises are used extensively throughout.

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