Energy Modeling: Owners’ & Developers’ Guide
Today’s building energy codes are continually evolving, alongside sustainability and green building programs. Two critical components of both energy codes and green building programs are energy performance and verification. The results from energy modeling provide data-driven energy performance predictions, which can be used to attract tenants, avoid costly retrofits, and analyze how different systems or equipment could impact energy use. With building energy modeling, licensed sustainability experts calculate a project’s potential energy consumption to help Owners and Developers ensure compliance..
