" An Afternoon at the Energy Modeling Improv"
lunch #4
This popular program has been recently given at the 2010 GreenBuild and other AIA Chapters across
the country. It is a lively and interactive demonstration of how architects can integrate energy modeling
into their design process to inform their schematic phase design decisions. The architect and engineer
presenters divide the audience into competitive teams and engage them as participants in the design
process, demonstrating how software can influence building geometry, orientation, daylighting,
insulation, glazing, etc. and lay the foundation for truly low energy intensity, high performance green
buildings. The winning team will almost certainly conclude the session with a design that exceeds
today's codes by at least 20 percent before ever modifying any of the mechanical systems.
Practicum Session - 90 minutes
