Building Energy Modeling Services for Your Construction

Construction is a sector that uses energy most of the time and, therefore, is among the largest energy consumers all over the world. However, Building optimization has become essential with growing control of the Department of Energy and government regulations. BIM is a powerful tool that provides a data-driven approach to energy modeling.

Energy performance and optimization are among Pinnacle Infotech’s specialization areas. We assist clients in shifting to low-carbon sources to complement their energy intensity.

Whether it is the overall strategy of developing an integrated system or the fine tasks of configuring an energy system, we assist in the identification and examination of the available choices.

Special emphasis is paid to minimizing energy use inside the built environment; this work involves providing energy design solutions using modern computerized energy models.

Energy is analyzed in its entirety, starting with the utilities (supply source) and then the facilities, equipment, and systems that generate and distribute it.

As a specialized team, our objective is to reduce the energy demand of construction by employing the best energy design technologies and through energy simulation of already constructed buildings.

We offer services in Energy Efficiency, like Energy Simulation, Energy assessment, LCCA, and other related design services, to discover all energy conservation measures.

Based on builder or contractor preference, we identify multiple near-optimal designs and help them build building systems that have the lowest carbon emission and ensure occupant comfort.

Important Software Applications for Energy Optimization in Buildings

Our team is skilled in using advanced simulation tools and building energy modeling software such as Trace 700, DIALux, and EnergyPro.

BIM Services for Building Energy Optimization

Identifying and benchmarking energy use across buildings has become an important consideration for architects while designing a building to save costs and improve building performance. With Revit’s advanced solar study and thermal analysis features, we offer numerous opportunities in this segment.

Understanding the sun’s position and how it changes with respect to the building being designed over the course of a day or the different seasons in a year enables the architect to visualize the shadows and assess the building’s performance in terms of natural light and/or heating requirements.

Pinnacle provides market-ready energy solutions and assists architects by using the Solar Study tool in Revit.

Our team specializes in creating comprehensive energy models that adhere to the standards set by the ASHRAE Building Energy Quotient (BEQ) program. We also offer upgrades to the design model to develop a calibrated model for your “In Operation” building.

This calibrated model will take into account the actual operating conditions of your building so that we can provide an even more accurate bEQ. We ensure compliance with the commercial building energy code as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Building energy optimization is a process that optimizes building energy performance through design and reduces recurring energy costs and waste within the buildings. Our architects and design professionals leverage natural energy, such as sunlight and airflow, to optimize energy in the building.

We offer innovative BIM solutions to reduce the consumption of energy and cost of electricity and move toward a more energy-efficient world.

Our team studies specific house characteristics and then offers a holistic approach to energy optimization through BIM for maintaining lighting, heating, cooling, and other building features. We also conduct detailed simulation-based analysis.

Energy simulation in a building relates to determining the energy efficiency of building components. In simulation, we provide information about local weather, thermal load, the response of systems, and metrics like cost and comfort.

Our BIM services have been instrumental in improving the sustainability quotient of construction projects like hospitals, educational institutes, and new and existing homes.
