ENERGY MODELLING

What is it?

Energy Modelling for LEED® certification is the single largest credit with 18 to 20 points out of 110 possible credits in a project, including all bonus points. The modelling enables compliance upon Energy and Atmosphere (EA) Credit Optimize Energy Performance and EA Prerequisite 2 Minimum Energy Performance.

As stated in LEED v4 reference guide, the Whole Building energy simulation analyses efficiency measures during the design process and account for the results in design decision making. Use energy simulation of efficiency opportunities, past energy simulation analyses for similar buildings, or published data (e.g., Advanced Energy Design Guides) from analyses for similar buildings”

What is it for?
