The reduction of energy use is a primary goal for many projects. The model is not only an effective means to reduce negative environmental effects, but also a way to realize substantial long-term cost savings. The energy model can be used during design as a valuable decision making tool, helping the client and team choose the most optimum design measures to achieve its energy saving objectives.

Davis Langdon can build an energy model for you in the early stages of the design process to help you make the most advantageous choices for building systems, as well as make siting, massing, and orientation choices for your project.  As the design progresses, we adjust the model, adding more detail where needed and allowing you to fine-tune your design to address more specific issues. Our energy model can also be used to substantiate code compliance and to provide a means of documentation for LEED credits and prerequisites. When harnessed to our carbon and LCCA models, our energy model can be a more powerful tool in maximizing the best potential design choices for your project.
