<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year, a team of eQUEST/doe2-centric volunteers joined forces to participate in the Lowdown Showdown building energy simulation competition. After months of coordination and outstanding efforts from everyone involved, we presented
our efforts towards the close of the SIMbuild 2016 conference in a condensed 15 minute presentation. The audience/judges together voted and determined that, once again, the team representing our platform deserved an award! This year we took home the “<b><u>Best
Teamwork</u></b>” award. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the participating teams presented very interesting and divergent takes on tackling the same challenge: Pushing an outpatient healthcare facility in Omaha, Nebraska down to a source EUI of Zero. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We had 17 active participants (many are recognizable active participants here on the lists), making us one of the larger teams this year:<u></u><u></u></p>
