Building Energy Modeling

New Building Energy Modeling

We deliver building energy modeling for new construction projects to give owners and design teams a clear, quantifiable understanding of how system choices will impact long term operating cost and performance. Our models use industry recognized simulation platforms and are built with realistic operating schedules, climate data, envelope assemblies, equipment efficiency parameters, and control strategies. We evaluate heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, process loads, and building pressurization to ensure the model reflects real world operating behavior rather than generic assumptions.

Our modeling supports early design decisions, mechanical system comparisons, equipment sizing, lifecycle cost analysis, and code compliance. We examine multiple HVAC configurations, assess part load performance, evaluate advanced control strategies, and quantify the operational cost of each option. The outcome is a clear comparison of systems based on energy use, first cost, maintenance requirements, and long term financial impact. Our work also supports LEED documentation, stretch code compliance, and incentive applications where modeling accuracy and transparency matter.

For complex building types, we analyze thermal zoning, envelope impacts, humidity control, and outdoor air strategies to ensure chosen systems will perform in extreme conditions and not simply meet the minimum design case. This reduces the risk of oversized equipment, comfort complaints, and poor energy performance after occupancy.

Existing Building Energy Modeling

For existing facilities, we develop calibrated energy models that reflect actual operation by incorporating utility data, equipment nameplate information, trend logs, submeter data, and measured field conditions. These calibrated models allow owners to evaluate retrofit options, quantify energy savings with confidence, and forecast return on investment before committing capital. We use the model to test operational improvements, ventilation adjustments, envelope upgrades, and equipment replacements, providing a clear roadmap for improving performance and reducing operating cost with defensible, data backed projections.
