Energy Modelling is useful, and is often times needed, for new projects. It is also used for assessing new energy management strategies in existing building structures. Specifically, modelling is useful for:
| Regulatory Compliance | Technical Evaluation | Energy Performance Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Greenhouse Gas analysis | Calculation of heating & cooling loads | Calculate energy consumption |
| Code compliance | Determining equipment capacities | Estimate utility costs |
| Green certifications | Compare heating/cooling options | Lifecycle payback |
| Compare efficiency options |
