What is Energy Modeling?

Energy modeling is the process of creating a digital simulation of a building’s energy performance. It evaluates how the building’s design, systems, and materials impact energy consumption, helping optimize efficiency and support code compliance.

Energy modeling is most effective during the design phase, allowing project teams to compare design options, improve building performance, and meet energy code or certification requirements before construction begins.

Typical inputs include architectural drawings, mechanical and electrical plans, building envelope details, lighting specifications, occupancy schedules, and local climate data. Our team will let you know exactly what documentation is needed for your project.

Yes. Energy modeling is often required to demonstrate compliance for programs such as the Section 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction, as well as certifications like LEED, ENERGY STAR, and other local energy efficiency programs.
