Introduction to Predictive Energy Modeling

This presentation will educate energy simulation practitioners with a basic understanding of the predictive modeling process and how it differs from the more widely known compliance modeling process frequently required to document compliance with energy code and 3rd-party sustainability certification requirements. Attendees will learn about essential industry resources relevant to predictive modeling, descriptions of predictive modeling software tools, and key considerations to remember during the predictive modeling process. Effective client communication strategies will also be discussed, including targeted project outcomes, recommended deliverables, and relevant case studies.
