Overview

This course builds on the Introduction to HOT2000 course and provides a more in-depth understanding of the software

The aim of the Advanced HOT2000 program is to ensure the proficiency of participants in utilizing it to its full extent for more complicated and extensive projects, including:

  • STEP Code
  • Tier Code
  • Other related code compliance requirements. 

This course also allows for a more detailed understanding and review of the reports with their specific outputs and how these are to be interpreted. Additionally, we will be reviewing and learn to understand multiple foundation types, modelling of MURB buildings, renewable energy systems, complex building envelopes, and non-typical mechanical systems.

Note: This course is highly recommended for those who have already used and understand HOT2000 but want to gain a more detailed knowledge and understanding of the software.
