Training Incentives AvailableTo see which incentives are applicable to this course in your area, see our Training Incentives page. |
CAN-QUEST is a Canadian adaptation of eQUEST. This powerful energy modelling software can assess and demonstrate performance path compliance with the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings 2011 (NECB 2011). It can also be used to support the design of high performance commercial and institutional buildings. This hands-on 2-day advanced workshop will provide specific training on the software and explore its features as well as the modelling process.
Objectives
Upon training completion, participants will be able to:
- Prepare an energy model in CAN-QUEST
- Use Wizards to set up preliminary models
- Use Detailed Mode for accurate modeling
- Understand DOE reporting and calculations
- Use CAN-QUEST and eQuest as a compliance tool
Who should attend?
This short thematic course is ideal for the following clientele:
- Energy-related design decision makers
- Energy modellers
- Architects
- Electrical engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Engineers and technicians
DOWNLOAD CAN-QUEST
CIET has been granted the only commercial licence by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to deliver CAN-QUEST software training in Canada.
Agenda
DAY 1
- Wizard – set up the energy model in CanQuest or eQuest
– Project and Site Data (building type, location, seasons)
– Shells and Zoning (building shells, 3D-viewer, zoning principles, space types, importing custom footprints and zoning) - Run the simulation
- Important Files
- Detailed Interface – execute the energy model
– Creating Schedules in CAN-QUEST
– Envelope (building up a wall, roofs, windows and floors, below-grade construction and reference building envelope)
– Internal Loads (lighting and equipment)
– Water-side HVAC (loops, boilers, chillers, heat rejection, pumps, controls, reference building)
– Air-side – HVAC (systems basics, fans, outdoor air, cooling, heating) - Run the Simulation and Results
- Create Compliance Run
DAY 2
- Case Study
