Energy Modeling Dechiphered for Architects - Great Design - Climate, Daylighting and Comfort

The first session will focus on the basics of design for comfort and tools to assess performance. How far can an architect go in-house? What collaborative team members are needed to successfully achieve sustainable design goals? What questions should the architect ask of their consultant? How do you develop and implement an efficient sustainability workflow? Participants will workshop climate and daylighting strategies led by a panel of architects and engineers.
After this session participants will be able to:
Develop a battery of productive questions and actionable metrics for consultants to answer throughout the design process.
Describe a workflow that integrates energy modeling into a design practice.
Identify tools to model climate and daylighting impacts during early stage design.
Identify the collaborators needed for successful energy modeling.
