Our Energy Advisors create a computer simulation model (Model ~ replica of reality), using standard compliance software. This energy model process the house data, orientation, location to simulate the hour by hour energy performance. This simulation helps us to understand the relationship between key building parameters (wall and attic insulation thickness, window-to-wall ratio, Airtightness levels, Installed HVAC equipments, electrical appliances and operating conditions) and energy performance of house. Simulation determines the estimated annual energy consumption by source (gas or electricity and both), energy consumption by use (e.g. heating, cooling, baseload etc.), and heat loss areas (e.g. heat loss through wall, ceiling, floors, windows etc.). 

Based on homeowner’s retrofitting plans, energy modelling is a helpful technique to analyze the impact of various energy conservation measures (ECMs), on the energy performance of building. We apply the simulation results and house-as-a-system concept to rank the ECMs based on their effectiveness.  A carefully designed process based on building science principles is crucial to accomplish real savings. Our 1K Audit is designed to analyze your deep retrofit plans and build a strategy to maximize the savings, comfort and carbon emissions reduction at minimum cost.
