A Picture is Worth a Thousand Data Points: Introduction to Visualization
Andy Berres
National Renewable Energy Laboratory, United States of America
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. My response to that? A picture is also worth a thousand data points! However, not all pictures are created equal: a good visualization tells a story and helps the viewer to understand the data. A polished visualization can help you In the first half of this workshop, I will discuss common mistakes made in visualization, and how to avoid them. I will introduce guidelines on how to make excellent visualization choices. In the second half of the workshop, I will guide the participants in an interactive session on creating meaningful visualizations with just a few lines of code.

Project StaSIO
Project StaSIO, an initiative of IBPSA-USA’s Research Committee, is a web-based crowd-sourced repository of simulation graphics and case studies organized around the ASHRAE 209 framework. Project StaSIO is envisioned as a resource for building performance simulators to look for ways that can graphically communicate their simulation outputs in a clear and compelling manner, empowering them to make a real impact on the performance of a future building.
Project StaSiO will be holding its 2024 Annual Competition for worldwide organizations or individuals, and we plan to announce winners during this 60-minute standard panel session at the SimBuild 2024 Conference. This panel session will be broken into two: the first half will announce the winners and feature some of the winning graphics presented by the authors; the second half will feature a panel with the competition jury and leaders. A moderator is being listed at the moment, but actual presenters will be defined over the course of the spring.
