Building Energy Simulation and Modelling
John A. Herbert
Director
Energy efficiency is good for business. It can reduce costs, improve your
bottom line, boost productivity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
contribute to your reputation as a socially responsible
organisation.
As a professional energy consultant, Kelcroft provides bespoke
advisory services helping your business reduce its energy costs, and
save money. We develop appropriate and timely energy
management strategies that will positively impact your bottom-line,
without sacrificing end-user/customer comfort.
Test Before Build
Energy simulation modelling allows different ideas and combinations
to be tested in the computer before the first brick has been laid.
Considering double glazing? free cooling? heat pumps? the annual energy
impact can simulated and the results analysed, providing more accurate
investment guidance at concept stage.
The same idea applies to retrofits, input the test parameters, lets
say improving the building chiller COP, run the energy simulation
with the new data, and compare the results, then make your investment
decisions, based on hard data.
Whole Life Time Cost Of Building
The construction cost is say 2-5% of the lifetime cost,
it means its important to study and optimise the whole
life of the building before breaking ground.
Decisions are all made at the design stage, at least the important
ones are, but these can be amended while the building is still on
drawing board, before any concrete is poured or orders placed.
Glazed units and windows, having a low U value (high performance)
as low as 1.5 - 1.6 W/sqmk are easily available (2017) without
breaking the bank.
Don't get left behind
If your competitors costs are lower, they are more profitable, have you already
