<div style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-size:16px">Join PSD next week on May 6th, 2014 from 1:00-2:00pm EDT for a free LIVE demonstration of the most exciting new features in OpenStudio v1.3.0. As a licensed OpenStudio training
and support organization, PSD is offering this webinar to raise awareness of the potential power of OpenStudio. The webinar will be led by PSD’s Vice President of Research and Development, Chris Balbach. </span></div>

<div style="font-size:14px"><b><font color="#1f497d">1) Support for modeling refrigeration systems: </font></b></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><font color="#1f497d"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><font color="#1f497d">OpenStudio 1.3.0 introduces drag, drop and configuration capabilities to model the energy use of common commercial refrigeration systems (e.g. display cases and walk in coolers), including cascading systems.
While this is not unique, the ability to integrate the energy impacts of refrigeration systems into a building’s heat balance at an adjustable sub-hourly time step provides tightly coupled feedback for estimating the interactions between energy systems. </font></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><font color="#1f497d"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><b><font color="#1f497d">2) Support for modeling VRF HVAC systems </font></b></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><font color="#1f497d"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><font color="#1f497d">OpenStudio provides drag, drop and configure capabilities for modeling VRF (Variable Flow Refrigerant) HVAC systems and controls of varying complexity. VRF systems can be configured to operate in either a
‘heat pump’ mode, (where the system operates in either heating or cooling mode) or in a heat recovery mode (where indoor units can recover and exchange heat with other indoor units operating in the opposite mode). In addition, the outdoor units can be configured
to be air, water or evaporative cooled. User defined performance curves (generated from manufacturers published performance data) can now be used to describe equipment performance. </font></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><font color="#1f497d"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><b><font color="#1f497d">3) Support for modeling supply and return plenum configurations </font></b></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><font color="#1f497d"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size:14px"><font color="#1f497d">Forced Air HVAC systems commonly use plenums for supplying and/or returning the conditioned air. This release of OpenStudio allows users to define and configure supply and return plenums that serve multiple
conditioned zones. Plenums are considered unconditioned thermal zones and are composed of children OpenStudio spaces. The plenum zones can leverage OpenStudio’s space type definitions for rapid object and property assignments.</font></div>

<div><font color="#1f497d"><br>

<div><font color="#1f497d">Thirty seven new OpenStudio measures from the ASHRAE K-2 and Small to Medium Office 50% AEDG have been added to the NREL BCL public measures library. These measures represent performance descriptions matching the published documents.
As such, these measures contain the logic needed to <b><i><u>easily & consistently</u></i></b> transform OpenStudio models to evaluate potential savings from incorporating high performance building and system components. Easy application (drag and drop)
of these measure to YOUR models will be demonstrated.</font></div>

Cc: <br>Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 19:06:03 +0000<br>Subject: [Bldg-sim] Updated Standard 90.1 Prototype Building Models Available<br>
<div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple">
<div>
<p>Funded through DOE's Building Energy Codes Program, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) developed a suite of prototype building models to support the development of ASHRAE Standard 90.1. These prototype buildings–derived from
DOE's Commercial Reference Building Models–cover 80% of the commercial building floor area in the United States for new construction, including both commercial buildings and mid- to high-rise residential buildings, across all U.S. climate zones.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p> As Standard 90.1 evolves and EnergyPlus is updated, PNNL makes modifications to the commercial prototype building models, with extensive input from ASHRAE 90.1 Standing Standards Project Committee members and other building industry
experts. Updated models have recently been posted including the following major updates:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>1. Standard 90.1-2013 models<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>2. EnergyPlus Version 8.0 <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>3. TMY3 weather data. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p> The prototype models include 16 commercial building types in 17 climate locations for the four most recent editions of Standard 90.1 (2004, 2007, 2010, and 2013). The current combination results in an overall set of 1,088 total building
models. The building models and accompanying documentation can be downloaded at <a href="https://www.energycodes.gov/development/commercial/90.1_models" target="_blank">
