In this seminar, you will learn:
- How to evaluate your BIM model (REVIT, ArchiCAD) using Autodesk ECOTECT, eQUEST for LEED certification
- How to use ECOTECT, eQUEST and GBS programs that will help you make better design decisions
- The purpose and benefits of BIM, ECOTECT, eQUEST modeling
- When to use BIM, ECOTECT and eQUEST for improving green and sustainable design
- How can we evaluate our BIM's Sustainability using eQUEST, ECOTECT?
- What is the most simple file conversion method for BIM and Sustainability?
- Our new mandatory requirements (Job, Career) for BIM, GREEN Building and LEED
- How to interpret and report their results
- To understand the techniques and design principles for low energy buildings and the review of energy-efficient design strategies
- To understand the interdependence of design, location, weather, and scientific factors in developing energy-efficient buildings
- To acquire the simulation skills to research weather and contexts in the schematic design process and run simulation programs to analyze building performance
- Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) for Building Types (Office, Hotel, Retail)
- Evaluation of Passive Design ECMs
- Evaluation of Renewable Energy ECMs
- Evaluation of Envelope, Systems & Plant ECMs
- Hourly Reports from DOE2 to Excel for Further Analysis
- Saving User Libraries for Utility Rates and Building Components in DOE2.2
- Using Excel Programs - LCCA, *bin Weather Analysis, Stair Pressurization, etc.
Participants will learn (ECOTECT):
