*Ask a Modeler: Are There Strategies to Save Cost and Energy by Changing
the way HVAC Load is Calculated?*

This month Volkan Doda, Associate Environmental Designer at Atelier Ten,
replies: *"Dear Right Size, Rejoice, as gone are the days of boasting about
the biggest kit in town. Now is the time of the kit that is just the right
size to do the right job right. It’s obvious: good engineering strives for
a working solution with ever higher efficiency by designing out waste..."*

*Oct. 22: Diodes and the Death of Daylighting as an ECM - IBPSA-USA
Research Committee*

Using sophisticated energy and daylight modeling, the presentation will
expose the truth about the energy impacts of typical daylighting
strategies. It will cover windows, clerestories, skylights and other
daylighting devices. Extending the analysis further, the presentation will
examine the potential return on investment for these same design approaches
for a variety of non-residential building types.

*Oct. 29: Portfolio Energy Optimization: A Simulation-Based, Scalable
Approach to Evaluating Zero Carbon Commercial Building Retrofits -
IBPSA-USA Denver Chapter*

RMI’s Portfolio Energy Optimization (PEO) initiative aims to address the
issue of cost in retrofitting existing buildings in a disruptive and
scalable way. The first half of this presentation will focus on the overall
framework of the PEO tool, and the second half will go over a case study
where 162 buildings were analyzed using PEO’s framework.

World! *

Throughout the year CalBEM <https://calbem.ibpsa.us/> stakeholder
representatives collaborate on systemic solutions that advance California’s
climate action goals via building energy modeling (BEM). Join us for two
digital half-day gatherings (November 17th and November 18th) filled with
updates on the ever-changing BEM ecosystem and opportunities to have your
voice heard on topics of BEM education, workflow, and software capabilities.
