Although building energy modeling has been common for many years, tools that support large-scale modeling analysis by leveraging vast cloud computing power are now both affordable and accessible. While these approaches make it easy to analyze tens of thousands of model variants, they may not take the shortest path to lead users to the answers they seek. In this session, presenters share case studies involving large scale modeling and results analysis. Attendees learn how to effectively efficiently design a large scale simulation study.
