Current forecasts say that we may only have 11 years to clean up our act, avoid a potential climate catastrophe, and prevent "irreversible damage" to the earth (UN). Architects can do their part in this clean-up by designing and constructing buildings
that use less energy with Vectorworks by implementing the Energos suite of tools in their workflow. This presentation by Registered Architect, Certified Passivhaus Designer, and long-time Vectorworks user, Mark Stephens, gives an overview
of low-energy key elements such as space, heat, and specific primary energy demand, heat load, and airtightness. Stephens will highlight the techniques for using Energos in low-energy design and show how Energos can integrate with other low-energy
assessment methods.
