Energy Efficiency Analysis

In addition to daylight and electric lighting modeling and analysis, we also provide basic energy modeling services.  Using eQUEST, a free energy modeling program based on DOE-2, we are able to quickly model and test several energy efficiency measures for many types of commercial projects.  At the completion of our analysis, we write and submit a report with our findings, often including additional information and specifications about recommended energy efficiency measures, such as light fixtures, occupancy sensors, and glazing specifications.

Our lab also offers basic eQUEST training to architects in the area.

For information about detailed energy modeling analysis, see our consulting services section.

eQUEST gives us the opportunity to test several different scenarios to determine the appropriate energy efficiency measures that should be incorporated into the design.
