Meet Our Expert Speakers Surabhi Joshi: A building energy and life cycle assessment expert with over 15 years of professional experience, co-founder of Building Calc, and a holder of a master's degree in building science from Georgia Tech. She provides a deep dive into the evolution of HVAC systems, explaining how they grew from simple centralized units in the 1970s to complex modern systems ). She also covers the drivers of complexity, such as stringent energy codes (ASHRAE 90.1, 189.1) and the impact of climate change on future design requirements. Swapnil Dindorkar: Engineering simulation professional and Product Manager at Buildings AI with over 14 years of industrial experience in flow simulation and building physics. Swapnil demonstrates the Buildings AI workflow, including the integration of EnergyPlus engines and Autodesk Revit data. He provides a live walkthrough of the HVAC Canvas module, showing how to build bespoke HVAC networks from scratch, group zones, and utilize AI agentic workflows to reduce manual input time by up to 50%.
