The key tool in evaluating the energy efficiency of a building and minimum requirements according to LEED is the creation of integrated building and systems simulation.
This ‘energy model’ conforms to the requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA standard 90.1. It is performed according to a simulation program validated under ANSI/ASHRAE standard 140. Taking account of agreed energy tariffs, a forecast of likely energy costs is drawn up in respect of process technology and the quality of the building envelope.
In combination with intelligent measuring technology and control technology, data derived at the planning phase can be transferred to a digital twin. This makes a big difference to the transparency of processes and promotes operational optimisation.
