to model it correctly. DesignBuilder’s state-of-the-art capabilities allow you to model ground junctions, foundations, and even complex ground terrain accurately and efficiently. <br>
<br>
In our webinar on <b>6<sup>th</sup> December</b> (10:00 – 11:00 EST) we will demonstrate how <b>DesignBuilder’s high-productivity user interface makes the best-in-class ground modeling calculations readily accessible in any energy modeling project</b>. During
the webinar, we will show you the two main approaches to modeling ground heat transfer in DesignBuilder:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The Standard EnergyPlus ground modeling method requires monthly adjacent ground temperatures to be entered. <b>Kiva enables much more accurate
building-ground heat transfer analysis for little to no extra modeling effort or simulation time</b>. During the webinar, we will also look at rapid ground geometry creation using component blocks, and show you how DesignBuilder automatically assigns adjacent
ground conditions to your model surfaces.<br>
