[Bldg-sim] go-to forum for LEED

[Vikram Sami]

I have to admit, nowadays I manage a team, and have not been doing hands-on modeling for a while. Getting rusty.

That being said, I have always enjoyed perusing this forum, and would love to see it get active again. The peer mentoring thing cannot be overstated.

Happy New year everyone. May 2025 bring good things!

Perhaps we’re all working a lot harder and have little time for frivolous forum posting!

I’m happy to continue on this forum. I posted on here in September last year and it was very helpful - many thanks to those who responded. I thought that there might be a forum out there that’s more active for this subject, specifically.

There’s a need for something general such as bldg-sim. A new generation of modellers is coming through, and they seem to be making all the same mistakes that we made. They should be moving on to bigger and better things!

I’ve benefited of being able to get one-to-one mentoring more recently. This has been relatively informal (e.g., paying with Paypal) but has helped me get up to speed in areas that I either have no experience, or am rusty in. I’m lucky to have the network to do this.

Perhaps bldg-sim is a good B2B place to seek out (informally paid) mentoring relationships for those subjects that are niche to us, but everyday for other professionals?

Cheers/ Chris

I’m all for this forum in general, but seems to be dwindling.

There was also a discord server setup by Allen Mei.

For LEED specific questions there is also the subscription service for LEEDuser.com that I still use from time to time.

Subject: [Bldg-sim] go-to forum for LEED

Happy new year bldg-sim’rs!

I’ve bagged the first post of 2025 😊

We used discuss a lot of 90.1 and LEED on this forum, but it seems that this isn’t the hottest place on the subject anymore.

Can anybody make any recommendations? Do I join the eQuest group, even though I don’t use eQuest!? Or, do I finally log into my dormant unmet hours account?

Thank you in advance
Chris
