March 2014 – August 2017
This two-hour webinar will cover advanced TREAT modeling using the multifamily version. To attend this webinar, participants must be well versed in the use of multifamily TREAT (e.g. prior attendance to an in-person training, webinar, etc.). The following topics are covered in this 2 hour course:
Advanced TREAT Multifamily Modeling
- Identify and understand advanced inputs for more flexible modeling
- Personalize TREAT with custom defaults for faster and more convenient modeling
- Generating and understanding reports in TREAT – knowing which reports will help you troubleshoot your model
- Creating and understanding improvements and packages
- Opportunity to ask advanced modeling questions to understand issues in your current models

Course Description
PSD’s 3-day TREAT training will expose attendees to time efficient modeling procedures and methods. Attendees will learn how to leverage the TREAT modeling software to model and evaluate typical improvement workscopes used by weatherization programs, construct energy models of multifamily buildings from ‘scratch’, and apply templates to streamline the evaluation of standardized improvements.
The 3-day course is comprehensive and will cover apartment sampling, energy model calibration, modeling strategies, data entry problem solving, billing analysis, quantifying interactions between systems, predicted energy savings, and calculating SIRs.
TREAT Multifamily Mentoring:
This optional add-on to the TREAT classroom training will give attendees the opportunity apply what was learned in the classroom to model an actual multifamily property in the field. The PSD instructor will walk attendees through the audit process and refresh students on the best practices for modeling multifamily properties. The TREAT mentoring will take place over the course of 1 day and attendees will walk away from the mentoring experience with a comprehensive TREAT model of a multifamily property that will serve as a helpful reference for future multifamily modeling projects.
* You can sign up for TREAT mentoring during registration for the 3-day TREAT classroom training
