*Title:** *EnergyPlus for Early Design and Single Zone Studies; David
Fannon AIA, Senior Associate, Senior High Performance Specialist, Syska
Hennessy Group, Inc.****

** **

*Description:** *This talk focuses on using COMFEN to run simplified
EnergyPlus models which inform early design-decisions and perform simple
single-zone studies quickly and relatively inexpensively.  Using examples
from recent projects, we will discuss ways to use COMFEN both an interface
for rapid simulation and as a ready-made database that can be manipulated
outside the GUI for comparative studies.  The presentation concludes with
some notes on analyzing the results, the limitations of the tool and
Quality Assurance processes.****

** **

*About the Speaker:** *David is a New York- based member of Syska
Hennessy's High Performance Solutions team, with broad perspective and
experience as a designer, building science researcher and teacher.  His
expertise lies in integrating research, analysis, and design to provide
luminous, thermal and acoustic comfort while reducing resource consumption
in buildings. In the summer of 2011 David traveled to Japan as part of the
Architecture.Energy.2011 workshop to assist architects rebuilding after the
natural and nuclear disasters. He spent two years as a student and
researcher in the Center for the Built Environment at the University of
California Berkeley, and is currently completing his degree. David holds a
Bachelor of Architecture degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and
is a registered architect in the State of New York.****



*Presentation 2*

** **

*Title: *N++: A demonstration of the latest GUI for EnergyPlus; Vladimir
Bajic – Senior Energy Engineer and Software Developer ****

*
*

*Description: *N++ is a building energy modeling software created to
emulate the architectural and engineering design process. As a front
interface for the highly capable EnergyPlus simulation engine, N++ allows
the user to input project information into the energy simulation in an
intuitive, highly visible fashion that simplifies the energy modeling
process for designers who are new to energy analysis. During the
presentation Mr. Bajic will demonstrate the construction of an energy model
in N++, exemplifying the innovative features that simplify the construction
of complex building geometries, lighting designs and mechanical systems.
The presentation will also demonstrate the flexible capability of N++ to
build multiple parametric runs and produce an energy code baseline quickly
and easily.****

*
*

*About the Speaker**: *Mr. Bajic is a mechanical engineer with over 16
years of experience in the HVAC industry as a designer, energy modeler and
software developer. His experience is both international and domestic.
Mr.Bajic’s main focus is building software applications that will help
architects and engineers design more efficient buildings as part of an
integrated design process. Mr. Bajic is currently a senior energy engineer
at Viridian Energy & Environmental (a Vidaris company). He is also the
founder of the ExpertApp (www.expertapp.com), a software company that is
specialized in creating engineering and architectural cad-based
applications focused on integrated sustainable design.
