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