EnergyPlus Training FAQ

When we announced our plan to run an EnergyPlus training (for both architects and engineers), we also launched a survey to gauge the interest of the people in the region. We have also received feedbacks on our plan. We have answered the questions directly to the person, but we think it will be useful for everyone to know what other people are thinking. The summary is presented in the form of question-and-answer below.

Session Topic Description
DAY 1

EnergyPlus Training at IDL Feb 14 - 16

The University of Idaho, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (IDL) is running a three-day EnergyPlus workshop in Feb 14 -16, 2011. Energy Plus is a free software program available at www.EnergyPlus.gov and supported by the US DOE. The workshop is designed in the form of a la carte menu such that participants can choose topics based on their needs and interests. Day 1 and Day 2 is relevant to architects and mechanical engineers with little or no experience with Energy Plus. A mechanical engineer with a basic understanding of EnergyPlus will likely be interested in Day 2 and Day 3.
