Sketchup (a Google product) is known for being relatively fast and easy to use. But it still has a learning curve involved, especially if you want to quickly determine the thermal boundary, areas, dimensions and more of a structure for an energy analysis. This online, on-demand course is presented by Josh Peterson, a highly skilled and credentialed energy software and Computer Assisted Design (CAD) expert and instructor. The building Josh is modeling in this course is an older single family home but the same techniques Josh explains can be used on other types of buildings as well.
