res. We then describe the process of templates being combined together in order to compose the <i>EnergyPlus</i> input file, and how parametric values can be set in one template and passed to another. For example, changing an HVAC system type from “CAV” to “VAV” would require changing a single parameter – the templates are pre-configured to update EnergyPlus object types, inlet/outlet node connections, and other details accordingly.</div><br>Next, we cover Big Ladder Software’s <i>Modelkit</i> Flannel framework that simplifies parametric analysis by allowing users to set parametric values in multiple CSV files and use <i>Modelkit</i> to automatically compose and simulate EnergyPlus input files, as well as compare user-specified results between simulations.<br><br>By the end of the workshop, you should be comfortable with creating and simulating <i>EnergyPlus</i> input files using <i>Modelkit</i>. Demonstrations and hands-on exercises will be used extensively throughout to generate models with a range of energy-efficiency measures and HVAC system configurations.<br><br><u>Previous experience with <i>EnergyPlus</i> is recommended but not required.</u><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div>Regards,</div></div></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="max-width:500px;font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><div style="max-width:500px"><span style="font-size:24px;color:rgb(197,90,30)">Aaron Boranian</span> <span style="font-size:18px;font-style:italic;color:rgb(231,122,59)">(he/him/his)</span><div style="white-space:nowrap;padding-top:18px;overflow:hidden"><div style="font-weight:600;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;color:rgb(50,76,91);float:left;height:40px">Senior Building Simulation Engineer<br>& Director of Training Services</div><span style="font-size:14px;color:rgb(50,76,91);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(197,90,30);margin-left:12px;padding:11px 0px 11px 6px;float:left;height:16px">Big Ladder Software LLC</span></div><div style="padding-top:16px;overflow:hidden"><div style="float:left;height:66px;width:165px;display:flex;padding:20px 16px 20px 6px"><a href="https://bigladdersoftware.com/" target="_blank"><img src="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/imgs/BL-Logo.png" style="width:165px;height:auto"></a></div><span style="float:left;height:81px;width:300px;padding:11.75px 0px;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(171,171,171);line-height:26px;white-space:nowrap"><img src="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/imgs/Call.png" style="padding:0px 10px;max-height:18px;vertical-align:middle"> <a href="tel:+1808-895-1741" style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(50,76,91);text-decoration:none" target="_blank">808.895.1741</a><br><img src="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/imgs/Location.png" style="padding:0px 10px;max-height:18px;vertical-align:middle"> <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/XdV4bXukiGBHVoV5A" style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(50,76,91);text-decoration:none" target="_blank">1624 Market St, Suite 304, Denver, CO 80202 </a><br><img src="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/imgs/Web.png" style="padding:0px 10px;max-height:18px;vertical-align:middle"> <a href="https://bigladdersoftware.com/" style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(50,76,91);text-decoration:none" target="_blank">bigladdersoftware.com</a></span></div><div style="float:left;height:101px;padding:24px 0px 8px"><img src="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/imgs/badges/badge-1.png" style="display:inline;max-width:96px;height:auto;padding-right:12px"> <img src="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/imgs/badges/badge-2.png" style="display:inline;max-width:96px;height:auto;padding-right:12px"> <img src="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/imgs/badges/badge-3.png" style="display:inline;max-width:96px;height:auto;padding-right:12px"> <img src="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/imgs/badges/badge-4.png" style="display:inline;max-width:96px;height:auto;padding-right:12px"></div><div><a href="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/redirect.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://static.bigladdersoftware.com/email-signature/imgs/Banner.gif" style="width:500px;height:auto;padding-top:16px"></a></div></div><br></div></div></div></div></div>
