Cain CAD provides detailed energy model services typically for new construction during the design development and construction document phase. A detailed energy model is a sophisticated physics-based computational hourly simulation used in building design and engineering to analyze the energy performance of a structure. This model incorporates a comprehensive list of intricate details from the most updated design plans such as building geometry, materials, systems specifications, loads, schedules, and climate data to simulate energy consumption and thermal comfort.
Architects builders, engineers, and owners use detailed energy models to fine-tune the design for optimal energy efficiency, identify potential areas for improvement, and comply with energy performance standards. This in-depth analysis provides a robust understanding of the building’s energy use dynamics, enabling informed decisions that contribute to sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and reduced environmental footprint.
