Energy Modeling

Energy modeling provides a digital overview of a building or complex that focuses on the energy consumption of essential utilities such as HVAC and lighting systems. As the industry moves to reduce carbon emissions from our buildings, energy modeling is an effective tool to measure the impact of sustainable practices and help designers and building owners procure the right equipment and high-efficiency appliances to meet a building's energy goals.
