Optimisation is a unique feature that enables engineers, architects, energy modellers, facilities management professionals and academics to see a “joined-up” holistic picture of how a variety of different model inputs, (such as testing multiple fabric and glazing types, HVAC and lighting systems) affect each other to help identify probabilistic trends. This cutting-edge tool enables advanced cost-benefit analysis to be undertaken much more efficiently. Following the resounding success of our first one-day online optimisation course last month we are offering the training again on different days in three time zones:</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt;line-height:13.5pt'><strong><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'>14th April: North America</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'>, 09:00 to 16:00 Central Time</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt;line-height:13.5pt'><strong><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'>26th April: Asia and Australia</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'>, 10:00 to 17:00 Beijing, Singapore, Perth time</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:36.0pt;line-height:13.5pt'><strong><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'>13th May: Europe</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'>, 10:00 to 17:00 Central European Summer Time</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:11.25pt;line-height:13.5pt'><b><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'>Classroom simulation training:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'> We will be running our next modular face-to-face classroom simulation training course from <b>18-22 April</b> in Oxford, England.
