Building Energy Simulations

Building energy simulation can be a powerful tool, allowing one to simulate energy performance for a variety of scenarios. They capture the interactive effects of the mechanical systems, occupancy requirements and the building envelope.

However, energy simulation packages can also be fickle. It takes experience and good understanding of building energy systems to develop a robust building model at economical costs. Otherwise, energy simulation software can be prone to “junk in, junk out” results.

We utilize several building simulation software packages. In cases where one of the software programs has limitations in modeling, we use other packages to verify simulation predictions. We also bound simulation results with estimates from inverse modeling, a technique that relies on sophisticated statistical regression models of building energy use.
