                  IIT ECOTECT Seminar

(AUTODESK® ECOTECT ANALYSIS 2010)

October 12-13, 2009 (One and half day seminar)

Day 1: Monday, October 12, 8:30am – 4:30pm
Morning: Introduction of ECOTECT & 3D modeling (import file)
Afternoon: Weather Tool, Solar Tool & Shadow, Sun path, and Shading Analysis
                          - Solar Access Analysis, Daylight level, Shading,
Solar radiation
Day 2: Tuesday, October 13, 8:30am – Noon
Morning: Evaluation of various building performances using ECOTECT
                    (Building Analysis, Lighting, RADIANCE & Green Building Studio)

In this seminar, you will learn

• How to use ECOTECT programs that will help you make better design decisions
• The purpose and benefits of ECOTECT modeling
• How to interpret and report their results
• When to use ECOTECT for improving green & sustainable design
• To understand the techniques and design principles for low energy buildings
and the review of energy-efficient design strategies
• To understand the interdependence of design, location, weather, and scientific
factors in developing energy-efficient buildings
• To acquire the simulation skills to research weather and contexts in the
schematic design process and run simulation programs to analyze building energy
performance
