What Is Building Performance Analysis?
Building performance analysis, which encompasses energy modelling and building simulation, evaluates a building's energy use considering factors such as climate, construction materials, envelope performance, and the building's mechanical and electrical systems.
Integrating these variables with the architectural design enables us to generate a comprehensive prediction of a building's operational energy consumption and carbon footprint, applicable to both new constructions and existing structures.
