You may be surprised to know that buildings consume more energy than the industry and transport sectors. Buildings, whether commercial or residential, are accounting for 40% of the total energy consumption in USA. The huge consumption automatically increases the operating costs of the building and result in huge utility bills. So it's imperative that building owners, investors and building managers will look for a way to reduce the costs by making their buildings more energy efficient.
The demand for energy efficiency has considerably gone up after we have begun to realize the effects of climate change. An energy-efficient building consumes less energy which results in less pollution and a smaller carbon footprint. Various agencies such as LEEDs and International Living Future Institute (ILFI) also promote energy-efficient homes under their Zero Energy Certifications which encourage building owners to create net zero structures.
The demand for energy efficiency has compelled all stakeholders to take help of sustainable methods and technologies when it comes to designing or constructing a building. One powerful technique to achieve energy efficiency is through energy modeling. Energy modeling enables you to assess the energy consumption of your building zeroing down to specific systems like HVAC and lighting in a bid to determine the energy saving features that are most cost effective. Energy modeling allows you to select and optimize the systems for maximum performance and make better and informed decisions when it comes to designing. Energy modeling goes a long way in identifying the least expensive methodologies you can use to create an energy efficient home and get LEED or ILFI Zero Energy Certifications.
PKD VN Consulting Engineering is a leading energy modeling firm specializing in creating energy efficient structures that strike the perfect balance between value and cost. We carry out several simulations based on our energy modeling to identify the opportunities for lower costs without compromising the functionality of your systems. Our team uses advanced solutions such as IESVE, Trace700 to develop effective energy models which present the real picture of your property. We can help you get that energy certification or tax rebate by creating highly efficient buildings based on the information of our energy models. We invite you to join us in our endeavor of creating green buildings for a bright future free from the hazards of climate change and calamities.
