BuildingEnergyModeling&Analysis
forSignificantEnergySavings
What is Energy Modeling and why should you opt for it? What
do you gain from it?
These questions might concern you as saving energy has become a necessity
today. Accomplishing goals with minimum/optimum energy consumption
is a task that requires a lot of hard work into achieving it.
£People in energy field should ensure
building energy-efficient models for
estimating initial and eventual energy cost
savings.
£Energy estimation before setting up an
energy-based project is imperative for an
investor.

Risk introduction:
Investing into any business is risky.
£When you decide to set up a business and invest
money in it, you are unaware of whether it will offer
you good returns or not?
£Why is it advised to opt for initial energy cost
savings estimation?
£It is so because if the structure you build fails to
give you good returns and projected cost savings
are not met, all your money will go down the drain.
£This is one way of introducing risk in a project.
£The loss incurred is heavy and to avoid getting into the same situation again, you
should first build an energy model and analyze its cost savings structure.
The other way through which risk is introduced in a project is via inefficient and
ineffective process-execution and underperformance of energy-efficient components.

Whatistheroleofafinancialanalysthere?
£A financial analyst's involvement is of high
importance in helping build an energy-efficient
model.
£Failing to provide correct information about what
is considered a potential risk while dealing with
energy-based projects, leaves the financial analyst
in lurch.
£The financial analyst is left with no other means
to price fairly the rate of return.
£With the help of building simulation software, you can know in advance more about
energy use and costs savings.
£The software enables you identify and characterize a building's geometry and its
material's thermal characteristics.
By working on these features, an Energy Modeling expert calculates associated risks and
benefits of energy-efficient components, structure design and availability of extra space.

EnergyModeling
£Energy Modeling associated with design of
high performance structures looks at
estimated solutions worked upon to meet
energy saving targets.
£Comfort analysis should be carried out
properly.
£Financial analyst and energy modeler are
two key positions in an energy firm. The
job demands several high-performance
responsibilities to be met without
compromises made on the quality.

Different ways of Energy Modeling
Out of the many ways of Energy Modeling one deals with new designs; second one
focuses on retrofits and the third one is actuarial-based technique that explores results
from simulation and field data.
£In the actuarial method, data from simulated energy efficient projects is used and
categorized under certain parameters.
£Later the data is fed into a database from where it is drawn upon to decide about the
costs saving estimates and related uncertainties.

RiskManagement
£Risk is avertable. It can be managed well at project level.
£Designing an energy efficient building is dependent upon application of best-
practices including risk assessment analysis.
£On the other hand, ignorance and poor implementation can lead to under
performance, operational problems and increased costs.

How to improvise?
To rectify underperformance, concerned project management team should seek services
of proficient service providers and keep a tab on actual energy performance.

Whatisamust-haveforBEM?
£BEM is one of the main modules of an integrated operation chain that produces
energy-efficient and low-energy & low-cost buildings with high energy performance.
£Experts into Energy Modeling should introduce their design teams to a detailed
feedback during the design phase.
£Building Energy Modeling is a not-so-complex process and the professionals are free
to work creatively.
£Optimizing energy use has a positive impact on the cost savings of buildings and
emission of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.

Reacting to an emerging need of
Building Energy Modeling (BEM)
backed practices, consistent
implementation of Energy Modeling
applications including energy-
efficient strategy and owning a green
building certificate is essential.

Wonderedwhy,oflate,energy-efficientbuildings/green
buildingshavecaughtfancyofenergyfirms?
£The reason is the consistent rise in the global atmospheric temperature. Global
Warming has led to the warming up of the planet Earth. This is hostile to the vital
sustenance of mankind.
£This has, however, pushed everyone to contribute his/her bit in reducing the
damaging effects of Global Warming. This is the reason why innovation in designing
and building energy modeling is given high priority over others.
In addition to this is another trend — Building simulation technology central to climate
change alleviating approaches.

Energy Analysis
£Carrying out an energy analysis is one way of judging the relative energy performance
designs in new and existing buildings.
£The company's management should ensure its employees possess enough knowledge
of current technology and energy products before giving out details of low-energy
analysis and design services.
£Prerequisite for building any energy-efficiency structure requires the company's
experts to be well acquainted with concepts of thermal principles of heat-gain/loss.

Building energy-efficient structures reduces facility operating costs.

TAKEAWAYS
£BEM is a major component of an integrated operation chain that gives rise to low-
energy & low-cost energy efficient buildings.
£Energy-efficient buildings are the future.
£Risk analysis and energy cost savings are very important aspects of BEM.
£Use of Building Simulation Software enables an energy firm know more about energy
use and consumption.
£Risk is avertable.
£Correct analysis is priceless.
£It is essential to keep a check on the energy performance of an energy firm.
