*Tools, DOE Roadmap, BEMP Certification Featured at ASHRAE's Energy 
Modeling Conference April 4-6***

ASHRAE's Energy Modeling Conference: Tools for Designing High 
Performance Buildings, April 4-6, 2011, ASHRAE Headquarters, Atlanta, 
Ga., will provide hands-on modelers and principals with the information 
to better harness the power of energy modeling tools.

The strength of the conference is its focus on different software tools. 
The conference addresses:

· How things get modeled and the impact of input data on energy models;

· What the strengths are of different software products in modeling 
specific applications;

· A comparison on how different tools address specific systems and

· Demonstrations, offered in a group session and individually by vendor 
sponsors, of software tools

Some of the software tools to be presented include ArchiCAD, Apache, 
Autodesk, Bentley, Ecotect, EnergyPlus, EPGUI, eQuest, Graphisoft, IES 
Virtual Environment, OpenStudio, Revit, Trane TRACE  and TRNSYS.

Keynote speakers are Lynn G. Bellenger, P.E., ASHRAE president and 
William J. Worthen, American Institute of Architecture's (AIA) national 
director and resource architect for sustainability.

In addition, on April 6, the U.S. Department of Energy is launching its 
development roadmap for EnergyPlus, OpenStudio, EPGUI and other tools. 
See proposed changes and provide feedback on the roadmap and on DOE's 
general activities in the simulation tools area.

*Registration is $500 ($450, ASHRAE, AIA and USGBC members). Seating is 
limited -- register today! Advance registration closes March 21. *
