Course Description

This seminar provides knowledge and skills for the effective use of whole building energy modeling (BEM), with an emphasis on informing the development of new buildings and the improvement of existing buildings. This seminar helps attendees to identify appropriate analysis objectives, methods and procedures that help ensure useful, high-quality results. Attendees will receive guidance on communicating analysis results and playing an effective role in a project team. This seminar is “tool agnostic” and serves as a complement to other training on the use of specific simulation software. This seminar also presents concepts with a case study approach and uses exercises to reinforce understanding of new information.


Course Objectives

  • Identify appropriate questions to evaluate and how to answer them with building energy modeling.
  • Select an analysis approach -- including the appropriate simulation tool, input sources and alternatives -- based on the phase of design and questions to be evaluated.
  • Plan and implement a QA/QC process to provide confidence in results.
  • Effectively work with a design team and communicate analysis findings, focusing on timely, relevant information in a format appropriate for the audience.
  • Develop a building energy modeling project plan, including tasks, schedule and level of effort.

Start Preparing for your Building Energy Modeling Professional (BEMP) Certification Exam!

While the Building Energy Modeling course does not “teach to the exam,” it does help improve your understanding of the body of knowledge which the BEMP exam tests. It is important to be aware that attending the course is not required to sit for the BEMP exam, nor does attendance guarantee a passing score.

The Building Energy Modeling training provides you with guidance on a number of the job tasks tested on the BEMP certification exam. See a complete list of BEMP exam task content that aligns with course content.

A 20% discount code will be provided by email after attending the Building Energy Modeling MENA training. The discount code will be valid for 90 days after the completion of the training.

This discount Code is applicable to both standard and developing economy application fees.
