Site orientation, insulation values, windows, HVAC system and equipment types and lighting options can all be analyzed to determine an optimal selection of systems and equipment. To gain a holistic understanding of a building, energy modeling is critical.

 

What We Offer

 

Energy Modeling and Analysis

In order to quantify potential energy savings, we rely upon practical energy system knowledge and energy analysis software to create an Energy Model.  Using comprehensive data about the building envelope, weather data, occupancy rates, HVAC equipment, lighting and controls data, we determine the total energy consumed. With actual use and utility information we develop a baseline against which we can measure energy savings and payback. This method delivers a comprehensive energy savings based on the entire building system.

 

System Optimization and Analysis

The Energy Model is also used to evaluate recommended system upgrades—from equipment and control strategies, to schedules and management policy. We account for vacancy, time of year, and system performance, to give you a clear understanding of how energy use is affected, and how control schemes may need to be altered throughout the year. The result is recommendations for controls, operation set-points, and documented management procedures.
