<font color="#336666"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Yes most definitely- Before the class I had self taught eQuest, and taken some LEED classes that where not directed at modeling. </font></font><div><font color="#336666" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br>

<div><ol><li><span style="color:rgb(51,102,102);font-family:verdana,sans-serif">The LEED class was very useful, it really pin pointed what the very long ASHRAE 90.1 standard and users guide says about requirements for modeling. I highly advise this $30 class.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(51,102,102);font-family:verdana,sans-serif">The LEED fan power class (this one is more of a recorded webnar)- this unwinds the complexity involved with fan power classes- I highly advise this free class.</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(51,102,102);font-family:verdana,sans-serif">eQuest- I was unsure if I needed this class, as a self taught eQuest and other software modeler- but there is just not many classes on modeling out there and I went ahead and took the class. My experience was great- as my self taught learning had left gaps in the way I understood how to use eQuest and how to create models in general. The class had very intuitive questions and answers at the end of each session.</span></li>

<div><span style="color:rgb(51,102,102);font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><font color="#336666" face="verdana, sans-serif">The LEED classes are basically the best resources I have found for LEED modeling guidance, and come at very fair prices. </font></div>
<div><font color="#336666" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#336666" face="verdana, sans-serif">I would recommend the eQuest class for anyone who is either just getting into modeling or would like to learn more about eQuest. Further I advise anyone who is new to energy modeling to start with eQuest because of its clickable documentation- pairing that with the <a href="http://energy-models.com">energy-models.com</a> class the learning curve to get started as an energy modeler is not too steep... On a side note I do not do many models with eQuest lately- and have been modeling with Design Builder/Energy Plus- but honestly I am very glad I started with eQuest as I think I would have had a tough time getting started otherwise. </font></div>
