Energy Modeling
Energy models that compare design alternatives and document assumptions for project planning, code, and certification scopes.

Energy Modeling
KOW develops energy models to evaluate how envelope, mechanical systems, lighting, controls, and operating assumptions affect projected energy use. The scope identifies the modeling method, baseline, alternatives, and intended decision.
Model results support comparison and documentation. They are estimates based on the stated inputs; the report identifies assumptions, design revisions, and information that remains to be confirmed.
Decisions supported
Questions the report addresses.
- 01
Which design alternatives best support the project’s energy objectives?
- 02
What assumptions drive the projected results?
- 03
What documentation does the selected code or certification pathway require?
Typical scope
What KOW reviews and documents.
The final scope follows the property, transaction, program, client requirements, and information available. Typical elements include:
Modeling scope and baseline definition
Design-input and assumption record
Baseline and proposed-case energy models
Comparison of selected design alternatives
Results and limitations summary
Program or certification documentation within scope
Process
How the assignment is carried out.
Develop the technical work
Review project information and coordinate the analysis, observations, and documentation in the agreed scope.
Review and document
Resolve comments, record findings, and prepare the deliverables for the next project milestone.
Common assignments
Typical assignments.
Design comparison
Evaluate selected envelope and system options while the design can still respond.
Program documentation
Modeling aligned with the agreed code, incentive, or certification pathway.
