Designing High Performance Buildings  

15 minutes to run all analyses

Sponsored by cove.tool | Presented by Sandeep Ahuja and Brian Campa

Webinar On-Demand

This CE Center webinar is no longer eligible for receiving credits.

This course introduces the general concepts used in building performance and a practical case study on an education building. Practitioners from the AEC industry will benefit from learning about the need for using daylight to guide design moves along with energy, glare, carbon, and cost in the early design process. Concepts will be demonstrated in an automated web-app but will be broadly applicable to a wide range of tools. A general overview will be followed by step-by-step guidance and a Q&A session.
