<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Mike, et al<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Yes, I’d join in on this study
group, so please do set it up. I’d join it for sure and you’d probably have at
least 3 or 4 other members from ZED too.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Like you , we at ZED-UK believe
that this assessment is going to be a good way to stand out from the crowd. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>My only slight concern is whether
this is going to just be a matter of learning ASHRAE 90.1 etc inside out and
then being tested on that or is it going to be a more in depth look at whether
you know what the principles of building physics are? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Can anyone give me a clue on
this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I have taught Building Physics
and Computational Modelling both within academia and as a trainer for
commercial software providers. I try and teach some principles even within my
short 3 day software courses as it’s imperative to do so, in order that people
can get a grasp of why you do certain things in models, particularly in a low
energy passive naturally ventilated building. This sort of work seems to me to
be partly contrary to ASHRAE regulations require and so I’m just wondering if my
slightly lesser knowledge of exact types of systems will be a hindrance. I
know the fundamentals and general elements of most systems having served my apprenticeship
as a BMS controls engineer, but I am not a complex system mechanical HVAC
designer. I am a physicist after all, that’s what my PhD is in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The AM11 book, in my view
although getting quite old now, is a really good guide in how to scope and carry
out a simulation study. It is however quite a bit out of date, particularly
when you look at the tools it has used. We’ve suggested a re-write to CIBSE a
few times and I think it will happen at some point, but I think it’s going to
take a while.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
