Energy Modeling
Our Energy Modeling Engineering Solutions
Energy Modeling provides insight into how your building uses energy. We model the entire building with all its systems. This allows us to run multiple scenarios to balance the lowest construction cost with the lowest annual energy cost.
The estimated energy cost of using different windows, walls, roofs, HVAC systems, lighting systems, and plumbing systems can all be quantified. This is how we decide, for example, if adding wall insulation provides a shorter payback than installing a more efficient boiler or vice versa. We use several software packages to accomplish this including Equest, Trace, and Excel Models.
Energy Modeling is required for LEED certification. We model buildings in accordance with all LEED and ASHRAE procedures. We can model new or existing buildings.
