June BESF: Exploring energy modeling workflows within Dynamo and Grasshopper

June Building Energy Simulation Forum: Exploring Energy Modeling Workflows within Dynamo and Grasshopper

The capabilities of open source programs Dynamo and Grasshopper are expanding at a rapid and exciting rate. Created to help architects explore new shapes using generative algorithms, Grasshopper and Dynamo can now complete daylight analysis, computational fluid dynamics, energy modeling and more. With the ability to support iterative design, these tools could completely change how building performance is analyzed. Join us to get a general introduction to these tools, learn how to start using them in your energy modeling workflows, and how to overcome common hurdles.

*Boxed lunches will be provided*

*If you are unable to attend in person, register as a remote attendee and the phone and webinar login information will be emailed to you*
