Today, we’re pleased to announce the launch of our brand new educational email course – The AEC Playbook for Better Building Performance!
Delivered as a series of short, practical lessons sent direct to your inbox each week, this free course will help learners avoid the common mistakes that lead to expensive redesigns, confused stakeholders who don’t trust your data, and buildings that miss their energy performance targets (even when you’ve ticked every compliance box on paper).
We’ll show you how to start early with a robust performance model that grows through design, translate outputs into insights stakeholders actually act on, and avoid handover gaps that waste time, money, and energy.
This course is ideal for architects, engineers and sustainability consultants who want to cut rework, speed up sign-offs, and prove the value of better decisions – with tools that support across the full building lifecycle.
Over six lessons, we’ll delve into some of the most common mistakes encountered when it comes to assessing building performance – and, more importantly, how to fix or avoid them entirely.
The course covers:
Mistake #1: Waiting too long to start simulation (and why modelling late means paying for costly redesigns)
Mistake #2: Relying on basic calculations and rules of thumb (and why simple spreadsheets today cause costly site surprises tomorrow)
Mistake #3: Oversimplifying zones, schedules, and inputs (and why averaged inputs = expensive sizing errors)
Mistake #4: Assuming compliance = performance (and why meeting code doesn’t mean you’ll achieve your performance goals)
Mistake #5: Presenting outputs stakeholders don’t understand (and why if they can’t read it, they won’t act on it)
Mistake #6: Working in silos across the building lifecycle (and why if you don't have one shared model, you'll have endless rework)
Are you ready to turn high-performance modelling into real-world impact?
Sign up today to get started with your first lesson.
