During the presentation Mr. Bajic will demonstrate the construction of an energy model in N++, exemplifying the innovative features that simplify the construction of complex building geometries, lighting designs and mechanical systems.

Using examples from recent projects, we will discuss ways to use COMFEN both an interface for rapid simulation and as a ready-made database that can be manipulated outside the GUI for comparative studies. The presentation concludes with some notes on analyzing the results, the limitations of the tool and Quality Assurance processes.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

His expertise lies in integrating research, analysis, and design to provide luminous, thermal and acoustic comfort while reducing resource consumption in buildings. In the summer of 2011 David traveled to Japan as part of the Architecture.Energy.2011 workshop to assist architects rebuilding after the natural and nuclear disasters. He spent two years as a student and researcher in the Center for the Built Environment at the University of California Berkeley, and is currently completing his degree. David holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and is a registered architect in the State of New York.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

As a front interface for the highly capable EnergyPlus simulation engine, N++ allows the user to input project information into the energy simulation in an intuitive, highly visible fashion that simplifies the energy modeling process for designers who are new to energy analysis. During the presentation Mr. Bajic will demonstrate the construction of an energy model in N++, exemplifying the innovative features that simplify the construction of complex building geometries, lighting designs and mechanical systems. The presentation will also demonstrate the flexible capability of N++ to build multiple parametric runs and produce an energy code baseline quickly and easily.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
