Load Calculation for Commercial Buildings Utilizing HAP v6 3D Modeling Software
Wednesday, April 16th | 9AM – 4PM
Hawai‘i Energy Training Room
Course Description: This 6 hour hands on training focuses on the process to perform cooling and heating loads and whole building energy analysis for a 2 story commercial building utilizing new 3D HAP v6 modeling software.
Students learn how to define building and space types (new) and applicable schedules, select design and simulation weather data (new), import building floor plan images (new), outline room boundaries to define space dimensions and locations (new) and configure the final space model for the building (new). A VRF air system will be configured and load reports will be examined. In addition we will configure a competing VAV air system, input miscellaneous energy consumers, and the utility rate.
Course Fee: Provided Compliments of Hawai’i Energy/Leidos and Carrier Hawaii (A $300 Value).
