Energy Modeling

Energy Management utilizes energy modeling to collaborate with the Facilities Division’s Design and Construction group and reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in building construction and major renovation projects.

This process allows all parties to assess the impact of materials, mechanical systems, electrical systems, building orientation and climatic conditions early in the design phase to determine the most energy-efficient options that bring the most value to the project. In addition, energy modeling supports LEED certification, tax credits, rebates and compliance with performance-based building codes and energy reduction targets set by the State of North Carolina Construction Office.

Using State Construction Office pre-approved energy modeling simulation software, Energy Management can configure existing buildings to optimize energy use and assess energy performance before renovation and/or construction. This intuitive approach presents an opportunity for a 45% energy reduction potential as compared to a baseline building, allowing for significant energy reductions and improved utility planning.
