Learning Objective 1:
Participants will be able to describe the three main types of building simulation; Daylight simulation, Energy simulation, and Computational Fluid Dynamics.
Learning Objective 2:
Participants will be able to discuss various workflow methods in order to choose an appropriate method for their projects. For example, participants will learn about who should model, how to use models, when to model, and what to model with.
Learning Objective 3:
Participants will be able to identify the benefits of incorporating energy modeling in the design process such as early performance impacts from design decisions, real-world effectiveness of energy systems, and economic value or rate of return for clients and building owners.
Learning Objective 4:
Participants will be able to illustrate the importance and overall impact energy/daylight modeling has on the internal office operations via new tools or processes, increase in ease of keeping pace with stricter code requirements via market defined and accepted workflow or standards, and creating additional evidence to support design decisions.

Speaker:
Dylan Agnes
Research Scientist II
Biography:
After earning a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Idaho, Moscow, Dylan studied the science and engineering of building design, completing a Master's in Architecture with an emphasis in urban planning and net-zero/energy efficiency building design. As a student he worked at the Integrated Design Lab and gained hands-on experience in the practice of Integrated Design. As an IDL Research assistant, Dylan worked with both the architectural and engineering side of integrated design, providing a broader opportunity to cross over fields of study. Since graduation, Dylan has been working as a Research Scientist at the IDL and has been working on a wide range of projects from Energy Modeling to Daylighting Design.
