Models + Patterns is meant to be a place architects, engineers, software devs and energy-efficiency professionals can go to learn more about industry software tools and modeling techniques intrinsic to energy-efficient and sustainable design.
We know that energy efficiency is a critical lever for reaching climate goals: the UN is calling to double global energy-efficiency improvement by 2030. A big missing piece in all of this is practical education and training, especially for the software tools and techniques used in industry today.
Models+Patterns is meant to be a place to learn about these tools and techniques. Stay tuned for content infused with interactive simulations and exercises that help you learn concepts while at the same time building work products immediately useful in your day-to-day work.
