Going With the Flow: Designing High-Performance Buildings with EnergyPlus

DOE Webinar February 16, 2010: Going With the Flow: Designing High-Performance Buildings with EnergyPlus

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Building Technologies Program is offering a Webinar on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, from 12:00-1:30 p.m. EST titled "Going With the Flow: Designing High-Performance Buildings with EnergyPlus."

To facilitate energy-smart design of high-performance buildings, DOE gives builders and architects the tools to predict energy flows in commercial and residential buildings—before construction—with EnergyPlus^™ software. EnergyPlus, DOE's fully integrated building, HVAC, and renewable energy simulation program, models building heating, cooling, lighting, ventilating, and other energy flows, as well as water. The program includes many innovative simulation capabilities, such as time steps of less than an hour, modular systems and plant integrated with heat balance-based zone simulation, multizone air flow, thermal comfort, water use, natural ventilation, and photovoltaic systems.
