to be released around that time. For more information on the ASHRAE pre-conference workshop please see:

<b><span style="font-size:13.5pt"><br>
Workshop Description</span></b><br>
<span style="font-size:9.5pt"><br>
</span>This workshop will teach you how to use <i>DesignBuilder</i> to improve productivity, enabling you to model and analyse building performance using
<i>EnergyPlus</i> and <i>Radiance</i> much more quickly and efficiently. The workshop will cover the key elements of modeling from early through to detailed project stages and LEED certification. No prior learning or knowledge of
<i>DesignBuilder</i> is required for Day 1, which will teach you how to quickly and easily create a model for early-stage analysis, test different early-stage options, and develop the model as the design evolves. Day 2 will introduce detailed HVAC modelling,
show you how to quickly and easily generate ASHRAE 90.1 baseline models automatically, and showcase the new LEED capabilities. Day 2 requires attendance on Day 1 or prior experience using
<i>DesignBuilder</i>.<br>
<br>
Both days of the workshop will use the latest <i>DesignBuilder</i> software, due to be released this Fall, which includes significant new ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G automation, DAYSIM for LEED v4 daylighting credits, and a new online LEED reporting and submission
tool. Free 30-day licenses will be provided, so why not come along and learn how to use these new tools and experience for yourself why so many of our customers say they would recommend
<i>DesignBuilder</i> training to a friend or colleague.<o:p></o:p></p>
