Are you curious about how NREL’s OpenStudio(OS) platform for EnergyPlus is changing the way building professionals approach energy modeling…?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt; line-height:17px; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri">
Join PSD on February 11th, 2014 @ 1:00pm for a one-hour <b>LIVE</b> demonstration of the OpenStudio modeling ecosystem. You will learn how to rapidly create building form and fabric using the OpenStudio Sketchup Plugin, calibrate the model to pre-retrofit
utility usage, and apply energy conservation measures from NREL’s BCL (Building Component Library). We’ll also show you how to use high performance computing resources to configure and execute simulation studies.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt; line-height:17px; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri">
As a licensed OpenStudio training and support organization, PSD is offering this webinar to raise awareness of the potential power of OpenStudio. The webinar will be led by PSD’s Vice President of Research and Development, Chris Balbach.</p>
