We are happy to announce the schedule for our workshop series in Australia from November 3 to November 17, 2018. See the table below for dates and topics. There are limited number of seats for each workshop. Please secure your seat as soon as possible. Register here.
Early bird tickets are priced at AU$475 for a full day workshop and will be available until September 15 September 28. After
September 15 September 28 seats will be available for AU$550 for a full day workshop.
There are limited seats in each workshop for students with highly discounted price (AU$180 - AU$200). The tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. To verify, email us a photo of your current valid student ID from your .edu email address and we will send you a discount code. The email address is (australia.workshops.2018@ladybug.tools).
While we are there, we will also be speaking at the Para Guru Symposium , which will be hosted at Swinburne University on November 5th.
We want to greatly thank Swinburn University and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) for sponsoring the venues and also for their support during the organization of the trip.
Finally, a huge amount of thanks are due to Fabric First and Darren O'Dea for his help with organizing the Para Guru Symposium and the workshops.

*All workshops will be taught with the Ladybug Tools plugins for Grasshopper.
The one-day Ladybug workshop will provide attendees with the ability to explore the relationship between weather data and environmental design decisions. We will address a number of environmental design questions for a hypothetical project using Ladybug. The focus of the workshops is to teach attendees best practices in using Ladybug for iterative design and simulation. If you have not used Rhino, Grasshopper or Ladybug and planning to attend any of the other workshops we strongly recommend taking this workshop. In this workshop you will learn how to:
This workshop covers essential material for effective daylighting simulation with Honeybee including daylight factor, point-in-time grid-based and image-based daylight and basic introduction to climate-based annual daylight simulation. We will cover fundamentals of daylight modeling for designing a well daylit space. We will use Honeybee legacy plugin in the morning and Honeybee[+] plugin closer to the end of the workshop. In this workshop, you will learn how to:
We’ll cover the fundamentals of energy modeling with Honyebee including different workflows for processing geometry, constructions, schedules, loads, and a range of passive design strategies. We will work toward the goal of removing all heating/cooling systems from a house, using adaptive thermal comfort models to evaluate the performance of our design. In this workshop, you will learn how to:
Building off of the previous day’s workshop, we will add detailed HVAC systems into Honeybee energy models. It is highly recommended that participants attend the previous day’s workshop unless they are already very familiar with Honeybee energy modeling workflows. In this workshop, you will learn how to:
This workshop covers the best practices for automating parametric iterative studies. We will cover best practices for automating parametric iterative studies and utilize several visualizations to make informed design decisions from these studies. This workshop brings all of the content of the previous workshops together and, while attendance of previous workshops is not necessary, participants will get the most out of this workshop if they have attended the previous ones. In this workshop, you will lean how to:
This workshop will introduces essential workflows for airflow simulation with Butterfly and OpenFOAM. Butterfly allows one to set-up and run Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations from inside Grasshopper to model indoor and outdoor airflow. This workshop will focus on the workflows of setting up models, executing simulation and visualizing the outputs. Material related to the physics of CFD will be limited to essentials. In this workshop, you will:
