December 26 – 27: Mumbai:  Workshop on Energy Simulation for bldgs

You will be pleased to know that the Rachana Sansad’s Institute of Environmental Architecture is hosting a workshop on Energy Simulation Training on 26 and 27 December 2008 at Rachana Sansad, 278 Shankar Ghanekar Marg, Prabhadevi, Mumbai. The Workshop is organized under the Energy Conservation and Commercialization Program Phase 3 (ECO-III), whose mandate is to implement the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) in India through the International Resources Group (IRG).

 The objective of this workshop is to introduce energy simulation tools to architects who are familiar with the basic concepts of building physics, environmental science & HVAC systems. The course will cover the mechanics of building using simulation tools with an emphasis on basic concepts that provide a foundation for more advanced applications. Participants will model basic building envelopes and systems using the latest version of software on their own computers. This workshop will also allow them to develop energy simulation models needed to show compliance with various code and rating systems.

 The workshop is being conducted by a collaborative launched under the ECO III project, comprising of Alliance to Save Energy (ASE) and Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (CEPT)   Ahmedabad with active technical participation from Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT), Jaipur and International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Hyderabad. The project is also supported by the USAID ECO-III & the U. S. Department of Energy.

 We invite you to participate in the workshop and/ or nominate members from your organization to partake of this unique opportunity. You may kindly disseminate this information to your colleagues and associates. Concession in registration fees will be given to those registering before 30 November 2008 as also for NGOs and groups.

 Looking forward to your response and participation.

 Very sincerely,
