About the Course

The IESVE (Integrated Environmental Solutions Virtual Environment) Training Program is designed to provide participants with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in Building Energy Modeling (BEM) and Building Performance Simulation. The course covers the complete workflow of creating building models, performing energy analysis, evaluating thermal comfort, conducting daylight studies, and assessing HVAC system performance using IESVE software.

This training is ideal for Architects, Mechanical Engineers, HVAC Engineers, Sustainability Consultants, Green Building Professionals, Energy Modelers, and students who wish to develop expertise in sustainable building design and energy-efficient building performance analysis.

The program emphasizes practical learning through real-world examples and case studies, enabling participants to apply industry-standard methodologies used in green building certification projects such as LEED, GRIHA, IGBC, and Net Zero Energy Buildings.

About IES VE:

IESVE (Integrated Environmental Solutions Virtual Environment) is a comprehensive software suite used by architects and engineers for whole-building energy modeling and performance simulation. It helps design, analyze, and optimize buildings for energy efficiency, carbon footprint reduction, and occupant comfort from the earliest design stages through operation.

Core Capabilities

• Energy & Carbon Modeling: Forecasts energy usage, carbon emissions, and water consumption across the entire building lifecycle.

• HVAC Sizing & Airflow: Simulates heating, cooling, and natural ventilation systems to maintain optimal thermal comfort and test indoor air quality.

• Daylight & Solar Analysis: Evaluates window-to-wall ratios, solar shading, and natural lighting to maximize passive design efficiency.

• BIM Interoperability: Imports 3D models seamlessly from programs like Revit and SketchUp.

• Global Compliance: Provides analysis and reporting for worldwide sustainability, energy, and green building certifications.
