Change in Leadership

The Integrated Design Lab is happy to announce our new interim director Dr. Damon Woods! Dr. Woods is honored to take the helm at IDL as interim director for 2021. From his start as a summer intern at IDL nine years ago to now, working at the lab has been a source of inspiration and pride. After finishing his master’s at Boise State, Damon joined the IDL as a full-time PhD student from 2013-2018 focusing on thermal comfort, energy modeling, and radiant systems. During that time, Damon was fortunate enough to receive mentorship under each of the previous directors: Kevin, Elizabeth, and Ken. Damon hopes to continue the traditions of applied research, innovative education, and community engagement, which have been hallmarks of the IDL ever since its inception in 2004 under Ken Baker and Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg.
Lunch and Learn - April 21st

In an effort to operate buildings in the most energy efficient manner, we are designing building envelopes to be as airtight as possible with as little outside air as allowable. In this presentation the following issues are addressed: significance of IAQ to human health and productivity, the link between IAQ and building energy demands, and efficient technologies for optimizing IAQ.
BSUG - April 28th

In this webinar, you’ll get an overview of tools from Autodesk that provide architects and engineers with a solution for more integrated modeling, design and analysis. This will include: Revit and Automatic Energy Model Creation – Use architectural models at different levels of detail / completeness to automatically create accurate analytical spaces and surfaces for use in whole building energy simulation and systems analysis. Concept/Schematic Stage Energy Analysis with Insight - Get quick, accurate guidance on whole building energy use and cost, see tradeoffs and set targets for key architectural and engineering factors from the earliest stages of design. HVAC Systems Selection and Sizing with Revit Systems Analysis - Determine HVAC equipment, systems and zone loads, energy and comfort in an open and extensible way using EnergyPlus and OpenStudio. Creating Custom Energy and Systems Analysis Workflows – Use OpenStudio measures to set custom properties and analysis outputs to suit individual and project specific requirements.

Welcome

The University of Idaho’s Integrated Design Lab in Boise is dedicated to education, outreach, and technical support for high performance energy-efficient building design.
