Instead of just analysing performance\, you design bet ter solutions – efficiently\, confidently\, and creatively.\nIn this sessi on\, you’ll learn how to run structured parametric studies and targeted de sign optimizations using the Parametric Runs tool and IDA ICE’s integrated optimization engine AutoMOO. Whether your goal is to improve thermal comf ort\, reduce energy use\, or balance multiple objectives – this course giv es you the tools and strategies to make it happen.\nKey topics: ✅ Fundamen tals of single- and multi-objective optimization ✅ Working with design con straints ✅ Using AutoMOO to define and balance competing goals ✅ Financial analysis (e.g. LCC\, energy costs) ✅ Sensitivity and robustness studies ✅ Interpretation and visualization of results ✅ Hands-on exercises for buil ding and system optimization\nA practical example: In one study\, IDA ICE was used to find the optimal combination of overhang depth\, glazing type\ , window height and width. The aim was to balance multiple performance ind icators\, including: • Median daylight factor • Average daylight factor • Percentage of Dissatisfied Hours (PDH) as an indicator for thermal discomf ort • Number of operating hours above 27 °C operative temperature • Delive red energy in kWh/m² • Delivered energy total in kWh\nBy running a Paramet ric Runs study\, you can evaluate all these criteria simultaneously and ex plore the results using a Parallel Coordinates Plot – making it easy to id entify the “needle in the haystack”.\n \;\nTime: \;08:30 AM - 12:3 0 PM Location: \;Online Course fee: \;460 EUR (standard rate) Org anised by TEAM DACH \; https://www.equa.ch/fi/tapahtumat/aikaisemmat-t apahtumat/event/1309-optimization-with-parametric-runs-opt1-2-in-english-o nline DTSTART:20251113T083000Z DTEND:20251113T123000Z LOCATION:Online () SUMMARY:Optimization with Parametric Runs (Opt1&2) in English - Online URL:https://www.equa.ch/fi/tapahtumat/aikaisemmat-tapahtumat/event/1309-opt imization-with-parametric-runs-opt1-2-in-english-online END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260621T131446CEST-2507024fjn@https://www.equa.ch/ DTSTAMP:20260621T111446Z DESCRIPTION: \;\nOnline - Lesson Scripting\nPrerequisites\nParticipants are expected to be familiar with the content covered in the basic course and to review this material as individual preparation for the training. Pr actical experience with IDA ICE in real projects is recommended. No progra mming experience is required.\n \;\n\nLesson Scripting:\nIn this lesso n\, you will learn the fundamentals of scripting in IDA ICE and discover a wide range of useful scripts tailored to streamline your modeling workflo w.

Local heating and cooling terminals request water at a specifi c temperature and flow rate from a central generation system. In its stand ard configuration\, IDA ICE uses a simplified approach: heating and coolin g are supplied without capacity limits and with constant or basic part-loa d efficiency.\nFor more accurate analysis\, the ESBO plant model is availa ble. It allows detailed specification of generation components\, part-load behaviour\, storage systems\, and control of pumps and generators. You wi ll learn the key ESBO components\, how to configure their input parameters \, and how generation\, storage and distribution are interconnected and co ntrolled in a realistic plant model.\nSuch modelling is essential to estim ate the actual final energy use of a building\, as it considers not just t he load profile (including temperature and output level)\, but also when a nd under which part-load conditions components operate.\n\n\n \;\nTime : \;10:00 AM - 12:30 PM (CET) Location: \;Online Course fee: \ ;165 EUR (standard rate) Organised by TEAM DACH\n \; https://www.equa. ch/fi/tapahtumat/aikaisemmat-tapahtumat/event/1325-esbo-plant-standard-pla nt-in-ida-ice-plant0-in-english-online DTSTART:20251125T100000Z DTEND:20251125T123000Z LOCATION:Online () SUMMARY:ESBO Plant -Standard Plant in IDA ICE (Plant0) in English - Online URL:https://www.equa.ch/fi/tapahtumat/aikaisemmat-tapahtumat/event/1325-esb o-plant-standard-plant-in-ida-ice-plant0-in-english-online END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260621T131446CEST-2511rvbhkp@https://www.equa.ch/ DTSTAMP:20260621T111446Z DESCRIPTION: \;\nOnline - Plant simulation (Plant 1\,2\,3)\n Prerequisi tes • Experience using IDA ICE • Solid understanding of the Basic Course content • Ideally: Plant0 • Ideally: Prior experience with the Advanced L evel (e.g.\, 'Adv0' lesson)\n \;\nCourse: Plant (Plant1-3)\nThis advan ced-level online course is designed for experienced IDA ICE users who want to develop and simulate detailed HVAC systems from scratch in the Advance d Level.
