moz-do-not-send="true">Thermal Energy System Specialists
(TESS)</a> is proud to announce the launch of TRNSYS Academy,
an on-demand video learning platform for <a
href="http://www.trnsys.com/" moz-do-not-send="true">TRNSYS</a>,
TRNBuild, and the TRNSYS TypeStudio.</p>
<p style="margin: 1%;">TRNSYS Academy is designed to quickly
initiate the novice TRNSYS user to the fundamental principles
and how-to’s of the software. Through a seamless combination of
slides and step-by-step demonstrations, the series’ 7.5 hours of
content covers everything from basic TRNSYS architecture, to
creating a system or building model from scratch, to authoring a
new component with the TypeStudio. For current TRNSYS users, the
lectures will bring practitioners up to speed with best
practices pertinent to almost any TRNSYS application; for those
exploring TRNSYS for future modeling needs, TRNSYS Academy
serves as a thorough primer of the TRNSYS suite’s extensive
functionality.</p>
<p style="margin: 1%;">Access for individuals is $100, which
unlocks two months of unlimited on-demand access. Universities
and institutions interested in blocks of licenses should contact
TESS for pricing.</p>

<p style="margin: 1%;"><strong>What are the computing requirements

<p style="margin: 1%;"><strong>What are the TRNSYS version

‘brains’ of TRNSYS) and the TESS Libraries, and led countless
in-person and online TRNSYS trainings for a global audience. He
also serves as the principal investigator on numerous TRNSYS
energy modeling projects with a focus on building energy
modeling and energy management.</p>
