General Information
Description:
Energy modeling of buildings is a practice of evaluating the energy use of a building through simulating and accounting for the many energy related components.
Purpose:
The goal of energy modeling of buildings is to accurately predict the energy use of a building to either test the energy performance of the building with regards to an established standard, or to compare and contrast two buildings in order to find the resulting energy savings.
Industries Served:
All buildings that have significant utility or energy use benefit from energy modeling. Not all energy efficient equipment or practices fit all situations. Analysis through energy calculations are a useful way to predict savings and calculate payback. Care should be taken to find the most worthwhile savings created in exchange for the typically higher up-front cost and effort.
Role of Federal, State, or Governing Authority
Often, building managers or new construction design teams are encouraged to install energy efficient equipment or implement energy saving strategies. Encouragement comes in the form of potential for future energy savings, an abstract point system (LEED, Green Building Standard), region-wide mandates (e.g. NYS Executive Order 111), or financial incentives. If by definition, an energy efficiency or Energy Conservation Measure (EEM/ECM) generate savings, in many cases this savings do not justify the (unreasonably) high up front cost. Incentives help to offset the high initial cost of equipment and to reduce the number of years that it will take for energy savings to break even with initial costs.

- NEW YORK STATE ENERGY and RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY NYSERDA Funding list and list of current list of PONs (Payment Opportunity Notice)
Problems with Energy Modeling of Buildings
-
Diversity of Modeling Programs and file formats are not coordinated among the trades.
- Possible solution: Common File formats (programmer's are addressing this issue slowly)
-
Software revisions occurring faster than users understanding of a program's capabilities.
- Possible solution: Users signing up to receive notifications from software makers about new capabilities. Users diligently reading program documentation when available. Budgets for projects allocating time for continuous training, and learning.
- Software revisions occurring slower than advances in new building technologies.
- Possible solution: An industry forum with user evaluation of programs, a toolbox of justifiable techniques of to supplement and support a program's lack of capability.
-
Incomplete qualities or disadvantages of programs are sometimes hidden or difficult to evaluate.
- Possible solution: An industry forum with user evaluation of programs.
-
Unknown, Energy Data. This arises from multiple reasons: Region or market wide energy studies are often too broad and over generalize, manufactures of energy efficient equipment have an inherent conflict of interest, the energy efficiency websites have a target audience of consumers and not energy modeling professionals, design engineers size equipment to peak demand and seldom consider yearly energy use, and conflicting information is abundant even among modeling advise sources. These problems also pertain to links and information presented on this page.
Methods
Classification of the different methods are diverse in their practice but generally subscribe to the goal of predicting energy use. The choice between the different methods is primarily based on level of accuracy desired and what methods, codes, or standards a governing body requires the modeler to adhere to.
- Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations
- Hourly/Sub-Hourly simulations (eQuest) -A detailed summary of each hour of the year and the hour-by-hour energy operation of the building.
- Comparative Summary Tools -Use a database to rate the building's energy efficiency in regard to other buildings.
- Custom Measure tools. -Non-Interactive method of looking at one measure at a time.
