ATLANTA– An integrated design approach to building energy modeling – and learning how to use modeling tools more effectively – improves the accuracy and reliability of simulation results and increases the return on time and resources invested to generate the models.

ASHRAE’s Energy Modeling Conference: Tools for Designing High Performance Buildings, April 4-6, 2011, ASHRAE Headquarters, Atlanta, Ga., will provide hands-on modelers and principals with the information to better harness the power of energy modeling tools.  The conference covers modeling fundamentals, building component contributions, software demonstrations and case studies. A collaborative perspective is provided that demonstrates how energy models and computer simulations can assist all project team members in creating energy-efficient buildings.  CLICK HERE to read the full article.
