Energy efficiency is crucial in modern architecture and MEPF design. As the world focuses on conserving energy and reducing carbon footprints, architects and MEPF designers prioritize energy-efficient designs. Energy modeling and simulation are powerful tools that predict a building’s energy performance before construction, identifying areas for improvement and reducing overall energy consumption. H2Engineering has been completing energy models for nearly thirty years, significantly impacting projects like the Neil Kirkman Building, which saw energy cost savings exceeding $52,000 in the first quarter of operation.
Energy modeling involves creating virtual models of buildings to evaluate energy consumption, thermal comfort, and overall performance. This process helps identify potential energy-saving opportunities and optimize building systems. H2Engineering often pushes the limits of energy modeling software, working with technicians to model systems like thermal energy storage, chilled beams, and underfloor air distribution. These efforts ensure that designs incorporate sustainable principles, reducing energy consumption and enhancing occupant comfort.
In MEPF design, energy modeling and simulation enable engineers to analyze heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting systems’ performance. Accurate predictions of energy usage allow for informed decisions on equipment selection, system sizing, and operational strategies. The precision of an energy model depends on accurate input, including research into building and occupant operations. H2Engineering invests significant time in developing load and user profiles to ensure reliable output for the design team. This approach allows architects and MEP engineers to explore various design alternatives, compare energy performance, and select the most efficient solutions.
Utilizing our engineering and planning experience, H2Engineering performs studies and evaluations to provide our clients with the necessary documentation to make informed decisions. Tailored to fit your needs, these reports include engineering investigations, feasibility studies, and reviews for code compliance and non-conforming uses such as fire and life safety, ADA, etc.
Our interests lie only in helping our clients resolve their problems with the most cost-effective solution that meets their needs. We investigate the root of the problems, rather than simply looking at the obvious superficial issues so that whatever solutions are proposed are the ones that best meet your needs.
For over 47 years we have provided clients with great service through relationships. We believe that no project is a success without the concerted effort of every team member; and the level of that success is proportional to the team’s ability to work together. The relationships we have and continue to build are the foundation of our success.
Well known for its problem-solving capabilities, H2Engineering thrives on tackling challenging and complex projects. We are dedicated to delivering solutions that are not only creative and innovative but also cost-effective, practical, and efficient. Whether it’s new construction, renovations, or restoration our comprehensive services, including infrastructure, will ensure no problem is too difficult to solve.
