Description:
The presentation will help demystify the use of the OpenStudio Software Development Kit (SDK) by energy modelers to save time and improve their modeling workflows, informing architects and engineers about the capabilities of the simulation tool for design studies. It will address questions such as: what is the OpenStudio SDK; what are OpenStudio Measures; how do I get started with using Ruby and OpenStudio for creating and extracting information from energy models; and, what resources are available to help? The session is geared toward non-programmers who like the idea of letting their computers do more work.
