Energy Modeling and Auditing
Today energy costs are very dynamic and unpredictable and for many owners and developers this equates to risk. Models and audits can provide meaningful information for our Clients to make informed decisions to hedge those risk. At TELIOS, we provide comprehensive energy modeling and auditing as a single coordinated service to our engineering services or provide standalone third-party services for project currently in design or construction.
Our capabilities enable us to easily simulate the impact of the following factors in a broad range of real-world scenarios:
- Building Systems
- Natural Ventilation
- Daylighting Design
- Thermal Energy Storage
- On-site renewable sources
- Peak Energy Demand
- Energy Management Systems
Modeling - Energy Reports
During a design process energy modeling can empower the design team and the owner with valuable comparisons. A model can assist the team with answering questions such as “What is the right amount of insulation for my building,” or “How much energy will be saved between a simple DX system or a water-cooled, chilled water system?”
Our modeling generates simple, executive level reports for the layperson to quickly understand and appreciate the systems that are right for their business model.
Energy Audits
Energy Audits are different than energy modeling in that existing field conditions are first surveyed and documented and then entered into our systems to seek out improvements for reducing energy consumption and maintaining occupant comfort and the health of the building.
Among the purposes of an energy audit are:
- To determine if energy demand and costs can be reduced;
- To apply for rebates from utility providers; and
- To determine available capacity for future building expansion.
Of course, TELIOS is fully capable of following through after such an audit, with engineering services to initiate and execute possible remedial actions.
