Passive Solar Heating Project Analysis Workshop
Program Overview
This course is designed to provide architects, building owners,
facility managers and building energy auditors the practical Passive
Solar knowledge and the skills to perform simulations in order to
determine the economic benefits of various Passive Solar design
options. Participants will learn how to perform a Passive Solar
Heating RETScreen analysis that can be sold to building owners.
