This playlist contains videos that help you get started with Bentley’s OpenBuildings Energy Simulator. You will create a new project WorkSet, set up the project tree, and then learn the basic modeling techniques for modeling floors, rooms and surfaces to create the energy model of a small commercial building.
In this video we will create a new WorkSet and project file in order to start the energy simulation model for a 3 story office building.
In this video we will set up the site properties in the Project Tree.
In this video we will set up the building properties in the Project Tree.
In this video we will add a floor to the Project Tree.
In this video we will add rooms to the floor.
