EBCx Workshop Series 18

Existing Building Commissioning Workshop Series 18 Materials

As indicated on the main page, the true source for the materials for the existing building commissioning class workshop is the FTP site Ryan maintains. If you need information regarding how to access it, you should contact him via e-mail at R2S2@pge.com. It would be desirable to include the words "EBCx Workshop Series Materials FTP Site Access" in the subject line to catch his attention.

The materials below are the materials I provide for the portions of the workshop that I teach. I am going to keep placing them here so that you can access them before class if you want and also to make it easy for Ryan to pull them back for the FTP site.

Note that I frequently include a "READ ME" file in the zip file with the materials and resources that describes what each of the files is about.

The files below are the files I will be using in class today. You will also need to have:

A version of SketchUp (viewer preferred) installed on a desktop or mobile device. Information was provided in the pre-class e-mails and can also be found on the Hijend Hotel Models and Videos section of the Blog Support page of this site.
A version of the Hijend Hotel models, which can also found on the Hijend Hotel Models and Videos section of the Blog Support page of this site. Instructions to help you decide which version is best suited to the version of SketchUp you are using and the platform you are running it on are also included.
The documents associated with the different systems we will be working with in the Hijend Hotel, which were shared in the pre-class e-mails but can also be found in the Hijend Hotel Documents section of the Blog Support page of this site.
