CAN-QUEST is powerful energy modelling software to assess and demonstrate performance path compliance with the NECB 2011. It is also used to support the design of high-performance commercial and institutional buildings. This introductory workshop provides an overview of NECB 2011 compliance and the CAN-QUEST software.

CAN-QUEST is a powerful energy modelling tool to assess and demonstrate performance path compliance with the NECB 2011. It also serves to design high-performance commercial and institutional buildings. This two-day advanced workshop provides specific training on the software and its features as well as the modelling process.

This course is designed for participants that completed the Building Energy Modelling Professional course or have similar knowledge. It is assumed that participants understand how building systems operate and have developed energy models for buildings with conventional systems that resulted in working energy model files.

This course provides an in-depth understanding of HOT2000 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.

The ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager (ESPM) is a management tool designed to measure and assess the energy performance of commercial and institutional buildings. After widespread use in the United States, Natural Resources Canada adapted Portfolio Manager for use in Canada where more than 26,000 buildings have been entered into the tool.

Having learned the basic functionalities and how to navigate the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager (ESPM) in the first workshop, this session provides participants with the information and training they need to use and update data and information on their own buildings into the tool. Participants also learn how to use the Data Quality Checker, which serves to run a set of basic data checks on your properties to help identify possible data entry errors and determine whether your buildings differ from typical operational patterns. It also alerts you to both warnings and information errors that you might have inputted.

Having learned how to set up a building and maintain accurate details and share records in ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager (ESPM), this third and last workshop exposes participants to how they can go further with Portfolio Manager to produce more complex reports and templates as well as begin to set baselines and checklists for their buildings.

During the one-day Building Automation Systems Essentials course, we examine systems basics and energy conservation strategies that permit you to run your BAS efficiently and effectively – regardless of which system you are running. Whether you are a building operator, project manager, or technician, the BAS Essentials course helps you better understand BASs by delving into the most important components including protocols, controls, control strategies, scheduling, setpoints and resets, maintenance, as well as recommissioning and commissioning.

This one-day training program leverages a Building Automation Systems diagnostic case study using real-time data to reinforce the principles taught in the course. The day also includes a variety of exercises meant to reinforce key concepts related to set-point identification, scheduling impacts, identification of BAS optimization possibilities, sensor selection, and more.
