Building Systems and EE4: Building Energy Efficiency Assessment Software

Centennial Energy Institute is offering a four day workshop on how to use EE4 version 1.7; this software automates energy use assessments and applies all of Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan’s) validation of new building design rules to verify that a design is at least 25% more energy efficient than if constructed to meet Model National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB) 1997 requirements.

NRCan’s validation is recognized by such organizations as the Canada Green Building Council for LEED® Canada and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and can also help you to apply for financial incentives from some utilities or to meet requirements in certain jurisdictions. Use it to ensure your proposed building will not consume more energy than if every element of the building envelope, lighting, HVAC and service water systems were designed in accordance with strict prescriptive requirements under the model code.

Learning outcomes
This four-day, 28 hour computer lab workshop will teach you how to implement EE4 and will review calculations for thermal resistances of construction assemblies, plus provide presentations of various HVAC systems.

Who should attend
Architects, architectural students, Engineers, Architectural Technologists and Technicians and students, HVAC Contractors, those looking to keep their credentials current (self-directed credit points).
