</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">N++ is a building energy modeling software
created to emulate the architectural and engineering design process. As a front
interface for the highly capable EnergyPlus (v8.1) 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.<span class=""> </span></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br>
<span style="background-repeat:initial initial">During the presentation Mr. Bajic will talk
about the new features in N++ version 2014 and demonstrate the construction of
an energy model, that will include various parametric runs and scenarios,
collaboration with 3rd party tools like JEPlus, JESS (</span></span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><a href="http://www.jeplus.org/" target="_blank"><span style="background-repeat:initial initial">http://www.jeplus.org</span></a><span style="background-repeat:initial initial">) and GenOpt (</span><a href="http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/GO/" target="_blank"><span style="background-repeat:initial initial">http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/GO/</span></a><span style="background-repeat:initial initial">), perform an optimization of the energy
model and talk about how N++ can be utilized for simulation via cloud services
(currently via JESS server).</span><br>
