Our practice-based educational model engages students in real projects with real clients. The projects range from single-family homes to large institutional buildings. Keeping up with the latest technology is a challenging task for our non-profit and I am exploring the most effective ways to do so. I am looking into applying for a technology grant to fund products that will support the use of open source programs for graphic design, architectural drafting, site/building systems/energy modeling, etc. If anyone knows the availability of such programs, favorites, suggestions, please let me know. I am currently exploring EnergyPlus and its interface possibilities.
