energy engineering
In today’s built environment, optimizing energy performance is more critical than ever. Our suite of advanced computation tools empowers us to analyze, simulate, and enhance building systems for greater energy efficiency, improved occupant comfort, sustainable design solutions and consulting services like Energy Audits.
Using cutting-edge software, we conduct detailed simulations of HVAC performance, lighting systems, plug load energy models, thermal comfort models, and envelope and shading studies. These tools allow us to make data-driven decisions that lead to reduced energy consumption, lower operational costs, and compliance with industry standards such as ASHRAE, WBDG, LEED, and local energy codes.
Our workflow integrates multiple platforms, each specializing in different aspects of energy analysis.
These tools play a critical role across multiple services—from energy audits and building performance assessments to design optimization and retrofit analysis. Whether evaluating an existing building for efficiency upgrades or modeling a new design for maximum sustainability and performance, we leverage these technologies to provide accurate insights and actionable recommendations that drive smarter, high-performance buildings.
