LEED 521: Energy Modeling & Using eQuest to Achieve LEED EAc1

This two-day hands-on training develops your capacity in energy modeling to achieve LEED EAc1: Optimize Energy Performance – Whole Building Simulation. LEED 521 will provide an overview of Whole Building Simulation analysis, tools, and accuracy issues and discuss the intent, criteria and methodology of LEED EAc1. There will also be an in-depth discussion of ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Appendix G. Based on this foundation, we will delve into specifications, calculations and assumptions of building energy modeling – from documentation climatic zone, envelope to internal loads, HVAC systems to service hot water systems.  Finally, the training will use building energy modeling to generate a Performance Rating Method Report for LEED EAc1 submittal, generate graphs of ECM’s and their relative energy savings over “baseline,” and complete the LEED Online EAc1 Template. Real-life exercises in how to use software tools to implement energy modeling.

Seating is limited and registration is first-come, first-serve. Provides 16 GBCI CE hours for LEED Credential Maintenance Program and 16 AIA SD CEU.
