ASHRAE 90.1 compliance analysis evaluates the energy performance of buildings to ensure alignment with internationally recognized energy efficiency standards developed by the ASHRAE. This assessment is commonly required for projects targeting global sustainability certifications or international energy performance benchmarks.
Our service provides detailed building energy modelling and performance simulations to demonstrate compliance with ASHRAE 90.1. Key deliverables include baseline and proposed building energy models, annual energy consumption comparisons, HVAC system performance evaluation, lighting power density validation, and compliance documentation required for certification or regulatory review. These outputs ensure that the building design meets prescribed energy efficiency requirements while supporting optimized system performance.
Specific Services
Energy Modeling
Energy modeling involves creating a digital simulation of a building to estimate energy consumption and evaluate the performance of systems such as HVAC, lighting, and the building envelope. It helps optimize design strategies and improve overall energy efficiency
