Length: 12 hour 2-day workshop, 6 hour 1-day workshop
AIA CES Units: 12/6 HSW

Join us for an information-packed, hands-on session that will provide you with a working knowledge of the ENERGY-10® software tool, an essential design tool for creating low-energy residential and small commercial buildings. The workshops are taught by experienced building professionals and can be tailored to meet your needs. Architects, engineers, utilities, code officials, and government agencies will find the training especially beneficial.

AIA-registered architects receive up to 12 Learning Unit hours of Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) credit for the two-day workshops (6 hours for one-day workshops). Working closely with hundreds of local partnerships, SBIC has conducted over 80 workshops and seminars since 1996, training thousands of professional architects and engineers as well as students.

Those attending the workshop will receive a free copy of the Mastering ENERGY-10® Software manual, a comprehensive guidebook packed with tips and techniques for taking full advantage of all that the ENERGY-10® software has to offer.

The following topics are covered:

• A review of the basics of passive solar/climate-responsive design principles

• How to apply a "whole building" approach to creating energy-efficient and environmentally responsive buildings

• How to integrate daylighting, energy-efficient equipment, and passive solar design in commercial, institutional, and residential buildings

• How to perform hour-by-hour energy analyses using site-specific weather files and actual energy costs

• How ENERGY-10® software can optimize your overall design and aid in determining the most cost-effective alternatives for meeting your project goals
