Building Energy
Performance Evaluation
(or Energy Audit and Modelling)
Every building is a large system of subsystems. The energy performance of a building depends upon the design, building materials, weather and occupants behaviour. We perform energy audit to understand the state of building envelope, mechanical systems and impact of local factors.
Our integrated approach perfectly blend building science principles, data driven energy models and client’s objectives. Years of valuable experience and smart construction practices power the retrofit designs.
Your home energy evaluation in three simple steps
Tell us about your core objectives and concerns. Our Energy Advisors will perform an onsite energy evaluation and blower door test (for air leakage assessment), perform the energy modelling and design energy upgrade roadmap based on your inputs and data analysis.
Energy Performance Evaluation: provides data and analysis to make informed decisions.
Real Science – real benefits
Typical Issues & Root Causes Identified During an Energy Audit
High Energy Bills
- Underperforming HVAC Equipment.
- Poor Insulation (Attic, walls or exposed floors).
- High Air Leakage Levels
Thermal Discomfort (Hot & Cold Spots)
- Incorrect size of HVAC unit
- Leaky ducts
- Improper Thermostat Location
- Air Leakages.
- Old Doors & Windows.
The Humidity Problem
- Poor Ventilation
- High Humidity Generation
- Oversized HVAC System (oversized systems short cycle & leads to cold and clammy air)
Take Your Home Energy Performance to the Next Level
