Course Details
Energy Modeling Training
Simulate building energy performance for ECBC compliance and LEED certification, using eQUEST, IES-VE, and OpenStudio.
Overview
Course Overview
This course teaches you to simulate and optimize building energy performance using industry-standard tools. Starting from software setup and building geometry creation, you will learn to model envelopes, HVAC systems, lighting, and plug loads. The course covers ECBC 2017 compliance (Whole Building Performance path) and LEED v4 Optimize Energy Performance credit documentation. You will leave with the skills to model real buildings, interpret results, and write professional energy reports.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What software is used in the energy modeling course?
We cover eQUEST and/or IES-VE Virtual Environment, the most widely used building energy simulation tools in India. We also cover OpenStudio for LEED reference compliance.
Who should take this course?
HVAC engineers, energy consultants, sustainability professionals, and MEP designers who want to support ECBC compliance, LEED energy credits, or building performance optimization.
What is ECBC compliance?
ECBC (Energy Conservation Building Code) is India's mandatory energy standard for commercial buildings above 500 sqm. Energy modeling is used to demonstrate Whole Building Performance compliance.
Is energy modeling required for LEED?
Yes. The LEED EA credit Optimize Energy Performance requires an energy model comparing the proposed building to an ASHRAE 90.1 baseline. This course teaches you exactly how to produce that model and the required documentation.
