Two key goals of sustainable buildings are minimizing energy consumption and creating a comfortable environment for building occupants. MEP systems and equipment efficiency, internal heat loads, thermal and visual building envelope properties, local climate, local topography, and exterior/interior shading devices are interrelated elements instrumental in achieving these goals. We utilize integrated state-of-the-art computer simulation tools to perform energy analyses, daylighting/shading studies, heat flow analyses, and computational fluid dynamics to assist architects and owners in achieving energy-efficient and healthful buildings.

We can help you realize aggressive energy efficiency and daylighting performance targets for your building project through:

• Whole Building Energy Modeling
• Envelope Thermal Analysis
• Daylighting & Solar Shading Analysis
• Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA)
• Climate Analysis

We will work with you and your design team to set high, energy-efficiency performance targets that exceed current energy standards, yet are cost effective and appropriate to your project’s climate, building type and occupancy patterns. We can test and compare various design strategies to help guide your team with design and building systems choices and decisions.
