AIANC Continuing Education and Events updates

Energy Modeling - Charlotte

Wed, 17 Mar 2010

Attend the Energy Modeling Program, developed by Jeff Tiller of Building Performance Engineering in Boone, NC. Jeff and his associates will teach a course to demystify energy modeling for design professionals. The USGBC LEED program requires energy modeling to assess the energy use of abuilding and to quantify the saving attributable to the proposed design. In many cases, architects and building owners are unfamiliar with the details of energy modeling and don't know how ot personally harness this tool (or manage it fully with contractors) in the design and decision-making process. Properly used, energy modeling can help optimize the building design and allow the design team to prioritize investment in the strategies that will have the greatest effect on the building’s energy use.

Attend and earn 7 SD HSW credits!

Register by March 10 and get the EARLY BIRD price: $90 for members and $115 for non-members! After March 10, prices will be $115 / $145.
