IN-PERSON ATTENDEES       Virtual Attendees

ASHRAE and IBPSA-USA will jointly host the annual Building Performance Analysis Conference & SimBuild for 2022. The theme of the conference, “Better Buildings, Less Carbon: Supporting the Transition to A Clean and Just Climate” focuses on improving the decision-making process through the application of simulation and modeling over the entire building life cycle. Practitioners, vendors, researchers, utility and government officials, and owners will address the practices of energy modeling and building performance simulation using existing simulation tools, software development, and future simulation research and applications.

The anticipated conference program consists of Keynote Speakers, Invited Speakers, a Call for Papers, a Call for Presentations and the eighth ASHRAE LowDown Showdown.

    TRACE™ 3D Plus Load Design Training

    Date: Tuesday, September 13, 2022
    Time: 8am – 4pm
    Location: Palmer House Hilton, Grant Park Parlor
    Cost: $350

    Description

    TRACE™ 3D Plus Load Design software is a separate program incorporating the load and system portion of the design process. In other words, it contains the functionality of TRACE 3D Plus minus the energy and economic portions of the program. Use this program to complete complex building load calculations for virtually any building. Trane C.D.S. provides a full day of training on Load Design. 


    Objectives

    By the end of this course, you will be able to:

    • Understand the program workflow, navigation, and input fields.
    • Utilize building themes and templates to reduce input time.
    • Practice using the drawing tools and creating a 3D model of a building for load design calculations.
    • Use advanced drawing techniques to model items such as multi-level rooms and complex roofs.
    • Add and configure systems for the building model.
    • Take a brief look at plant level load calculations.
    • Create multiple alternatives to model various choices.
    • Learn to create and use library members, including custom library members such as construction types, schedules, systems and more.
    • Share files and libraries. 
    • Practice using the program through in-class exercises.
    • Interpret results and the various output reports.
    • Know where to find answers and seek help.

    Audience

    Beginning and intermediate level users of TRACE 3D Load Design software.
