December BESF: Energy Trust EDAPT Launch and a User’s Perspective of OpenStudio

December Building Energy Simulation Forum: Energy Trust EDAPT Launch and a User’s Perspective of OpenStudio

EDAPT is a new web-based tool that will help you model savings for Energy Trust New Buildings programs. This presentation will showcase some of the advantages of EDAPT for energy modelers. We’ll discuss Energy Trust QAQC and automated report generation as well as the submission and review process.

This presentation will review some recent updates to the OpenStudio software suite and highlight future updates —including model setup, usefulness and availability of measures, ease of HVAC system changes, and the potential limitations of the tool. We will also discuss automated baselines, BCL library of components and measures, and the parametric analysis tool (PAT).

This is the final BESF presentation of 2017. Join fellow energy modelers, energy analysts and Energy Trust staff to discuss industry trends and future presentation topics.

*Boxed lunches will be provided*

*If you are unable to attend in person, register as a remote attendee and the phone and webinar login information will be emailed to you*
