Slipstream Building Energy Design Tools

Sketchbox Simplified Energy Modeling Tool - Take a sneak peek of Slipstream’s energy modeling tool, Sketchbox, which is a web-based tool that enables simplified energy analysis of commercial buildings. The platform is suitable for all levels of technical expertise, providing a user-friendly introduction to whole-building energy modeling, with a focus on early design and concept modeling. The tool can also be used to identify energy savings for existing buildings and retrofits. Sketchbox allows users to understand the impact of various improvement measures on overall energy performance and cost compared to a baseline. Slipstream is planning to fully launch the tool this fall.
