For the full impact of energy modeling to be realized on a building it should be undertaken right from the very earliest stages and then continued throughout the entire process to design completion and beyond.
At the detailed level, multiple stages of model development must be included as the accuracy of the energy model develops in parallel with the design and all other performance analysis areas. It continues to investigate the strategies developed in early stage energy analysis.
Detailed analysis provides more accurate figures and results for system sizing, fine tuning, compliance, costing and documentation. Results and analysis can be presented to clients and building control, justifying design decisions and offering you competitive advantage.
