<p class="MsoNormal">Happy New Year from the Chicago Chapter of IBPSA-USA! We will be hosting a free webinar on
<u>January 21, 2016</u> on the topic of <u>Weather Data for Energy Modeling</u>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7937145014765917953">https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7937145014765917953</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Every energy model depends on good, accurate weather data. This webinar will offer presentations from three experts to discuss: <br>
• How weather data files are developed <br>
• TMY (Typical Meteorological Year) data vs. AMY (Actual Meteorological Year) data <br>
• Confidence vs. skepticism in weather data <br>
• Customizing weather data for locations or microclimates <br>
• Selecting and using the “right” weather data file <br>
• Future climate impacts and weather models <br>
• Demonstration of Elements software application from Big Ladder Software and Rocky Mountain Institute (http://bigladdersoftware.com/projects/elements/) <br>
<br>
Our presenters will be: <br>
• Joe Huang, White Box Technologies <br>
• Michael O’Keefe, Big Ladder Software <br>
• Ben Brannon, ARUP <br>
<br>
There will be time for Q&A with each presenter. <br>
<br>
The webinar will be recorded for later viewing, and posted at <a href="http://www.ibpsa.us">
