Energy Modeling
Energy simulation is a powerful tool for predicting or analyzing building energy use. Energy modeling can help optimize alternatives that will have the greatest effect on the building’s energy use and occupant comfort.
Zodiac has a team of professional engineers with modeling skills and energy analysis. We assist building owners and designers make energy efficiency design modifications to make the constructed building more efficient. We integrate energy modeling techniques to examine sustainable buildings and adherence to building standards such as ASHRAE, LEED etc.
Energy Auditing
Energy audits are a powerful tool for uncovering operational and equipment improvements that will save energy, reduce energy costs, and lead to higher performance. Energy audits can be done as a stand alone effort but may be conducted as part of a larger analysis across a group of facilities, or across an owner’s entire portfolio.
Zodiac provides ASHRAE Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Energy Auditing Service.
Measurement and Verification
We use whole building simulation to assist with energy Measurement and Verification (M&V) for determining the functional performance and building energy consumption. M&V is analogous to building commissioning and is intended to help preserve energy efficiency and water usage gains over the long term, The energy savings is demonstrated and validated through standard measurement and verification (M&V) protocols
