Energy modeling is the virtual simulation of a building that focuses on energy consumption, utility and life cycle costs of all energy systems including HVAC, lighting, receptacles and water. Energy modeling as a tool generates energy related data which are essential to improve the design in an optimum way.
Our team is certified as BEMP (Building Energy Modeling Professional) and capable of successfully conducting energy modeling at all stages.
Optimize Building Performance Through Energy Modeling
Simple as it sounds! We know decisions made during the early stages of a design process will have a critical impact on the overall performance of the building. Therefore we conduct a preliminary "simple box" analysis as early as possible to explore how to reduce energy loads and accomplish related sustainability goals. Moreover, we achieve LEED v4 Integrative Process credit which requires this preliminary assessment.
Simple Box Modeling : Early and Effective
Detailed Energy Modeling for Compliance
Detailed energy modeling is essential to demonstrate energy performance compliance in various certification systems such as the LEED rating system. Beyond the model's use as a design and credit compliance tool, energy modeling can also be used when applying for various tax credits and incentives.
Our LEED and BEMP certified team assures that your project achieves the aimed energy performance score.
Daylight Simulation
Sufficient access to daylight has positive human behavioral and health effects. Green building rating systems like LEED assess daylight in occupied zones. Therefore, we are focused on increasing daylight delivered in your project. We perform daylight simulations in order to optimize the building facade and create a more effective daylit project. We prepare compliance documentation including LEED Daylight credit.
CFD Analysis
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can provide the designer with information on probable air velocities, pressures and temperatures that will occur at any point through a predefined air volume in and around building spaces.
Our team uses CFD analysis to assess pedestrian comfort due to the wind effect, support facade and HVAC design, and check compliance of natural ventilation system designs with LEED Indoor Air Quality criteria.
Urban Shadow Analysis
Urban shadow analysis is vital for urban planning and design of tall buildings that can have an impact on the solar access and microclimate of their surroundings. Our team conducts urban shadow analysis to assess how buildings, dwellings and public spaces are affected by the proposed building design and therefore to investigate how the potential impact can be reduced by various design alternatives.
