*Ask a Modeler: How can I Get as Much Use as Possible Out of One Model?*

This month Demian Vonder Kuhlen, Senior Associate, Building Performance
Team Leader at Guttmann & Blaevoet, replies: *"Dear Recycled, The road to
energy model reuse is fraught with potholes. The zen of model recycling
nirvana is close at hand, but your mileage may vary depending on your
software, your experience, the scope of work, and the level of model detail
needed to produce the requested results..."*

*Sponsored Content: FD in a Hospital Operating Room*

The *Local Mean Age of Air* metric is used to evaluate contaminant control
and it represents the average time the air has spent accumulating unwanted
contaminants in a space. Learn how this metric is evaluated with CFD in
critical care environments to meet requirements for *‘ASHRAE Standard 170 -
Ventilation of Health Care Facilities.’*

*Jan. 19-21: Three day workshop: Model Cities Anywhere – Pathways towards a
Net Zero Urban Building Stock*

The Sustainable Design Lab at MIT has developed a new web app called
UBEM.io to streamline the creation and analysis of urban building energy
models (UBEMs). The resulting urban models can be directly used within
MIT’s Urban Modeling Interface (UMI) to calculate operational building
energy use. During this free, three day remote workshop we are looking for
teams who want to develop a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction plan
for their jurisdiction.

*Jan. 28: A Delicate Balance: Energy Efficiency and Indoor Air Quality in
the COVID19 Era - IBPSA-USA Research Committee*

In this talk, Van Den Wymelenberg will briefly illustrate historic
relationships of buildings and health, present novel research on techniques
to conduct indoor microbial surveillance, and elaborate on the relationship
between layered disease transmission risk mitigation strategies, energy
consumption, and to some extent building simulation. *Approved for 1 AIA
Learning Unit.*
