Energy Modelling with eQuest (Module 1)

🚀 Course Title: Energy Modelling (Module 1) with eQuest

🎉 Course Headline: Master Building Energy Modelling & Simulation Using eQuest Software!

Dive into the World of Sustainable Design with Dr. Sonal Desai's Comprehensive Course on Energy Modelling!

🏫 Module 1: Laying the Foundation

In our first module, we begin with a gentle yet thorough introduction to the art and science of building energy simulation using eQuest. This module lays the groundwork for your journey into energy modelling with eQuery by guiding you through the use of two essential wizards: the Schematic Wizard and the Design Development Wizard. You'll learn how to select the appropriate weather file for accurate simulations, understand the importance of converting BIN files, and work with building footprints. 🗺️✨

• Basic Introduction to Energy Simulation
  • Two fundamental eQuest wizards: Schematic & Design Development
  • Weather File Selection: Finding the right fit for your model
  • Converting BIN Files: A step-by-step walkthrough
  • Building Footprints: Setting the stage for detailed analysis

🔍 8-Module Deep Dive into Energy Simulation

As we progress through the remaining eight modules, you'll gain hands-on experience with eQuest software. Each topic is carefully selected to cover all aspects of building energy modelling, from creating a building model to performing sensitive analyses. Here's what you can expect to learn:
