Energy Modeling, short for Building Energy Modeling, is the virtual simulation of a building. Performed to determine and estimate building energy consumptions, life cycles costs of energy relate items, air conditioning systems, lightning and hot water usage.
Energy Modeling can be performed early, during the design phase of a project, as a part of an integrated design process. The energy model will serve as primarily a decision-making tool by comparing various scenarios in a building design to help achieve energy and cost savings.
