energy modeling software

Energy modeling software is a tool used to simulate and analyze a building’s energy use, helping identify ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs. It uses detailed data about building design, materials, systems, and climate to predict how much energy the building will consume for heating, cooling, lighting, and other functions. This allows architects, engineers, and builders to make informed decisions early in the design process about materials, systems, and strategies to create more sustainable, cost-effective buildings. Essentially, it’s like a virtual blueprint that forecasts energy performance before construction begins.
