This seminar will be the 2nd of two presentations that highlight building performance through an integrated design approach. While the first part focused on compliance, the 2nd seminar will concentrate on using building simulation tools as a means to inform your design. The presenters will highlight how these tools can be used throughout the project stages, i.e. from pre-design until building operation. Concepts, such as “shoebox modeling”, passive design, net-zero energy and energy audits will be addressed. Additionally, examples in energy modeling, parametric design optimization, daylighting and life cycle analyses will be presented.
