Building Energy Modeling
We have extensive experience with building energy modeling which helps our clients evaluate the energy consumption of their new and existing facilities. Energy modeling is also very useful when comparing different efficiency options through life cycle cost analysis. Many green building rating systems, such as LEED, require energy modeling simulation in order to predict energy savings versus a baseline building. An energy model is only as accurate as the input information and we take great care in getting the numbers right for our clients.
