Interpretations of Energy Model Results

The training program “Interpretations of Energy Model Results” goes over many different areas of energy modeling, such as interpretation, verification, troubleshooting, analysis, economic analysis, sensitivity analysis, special calculation methods, project deliverables, and LEED interpretations. It covers various aspects, such as reality checks, software checks, parametric bracketing, load resolution, and hours outside the control range.

The program also covers economic analysis, sensitivity analysis, exceptional calculation methods, project deliverables, and a sample energy modeling report. It also includes 200 practice test questions for the BEMP exam.

The BEMP certification is an ANSI-accredited program for the certification of personnel in accordance with ISO/IEC 17024 (#1139). This shows that a lot of different physical principles can be used to model both new and old structures and systems. This lets us test the results that energy modeling software gives us when we look at how well buildings and systems use energy and whether they are financially viable. Individuals who have demonstrated proficiency in these domains receive this certification.

Beyond Smart Cities is a company that specializes in the modeling of energy for a variety of building types and climate zones. Energy engineers employed energy modeling techniques to determine the appropriate dimensions of heating and ventilation systems within buildings. During the mid-20th century, architects eschewed a rational approach to climate responsiveness and instead depended on engineers to ensure comfort and illumination within buildings. They have developed thousands of dynamic simulation energy models to enhance building performance, identify opportunities, and mitigate risks across all phases of the design process.

The Interpretations of Energy Model Results course was developed by Krishnaji Pawar, an internationally recognized specialist in energy modeling. He specializes in green building certification systems, energy modeling, commissioning processes, environmental impact assessments, and environmental management systems.

Building Energy Modeling Applications

• Architectural Design: Helps architects design energy-efficient buildings, reducing both energy and construction costs.
• HVAC Design and Operation: Assists mechanical engineers in designing efficient HVAC systems for commercial buildings.
• Building Performance Rating: Assesses a building’s inherent performance, guiding processes like code compliance, green certification, and financial incentives.
• Building Stock Analysis: Supports the development of energy codes and standards, aiding in large-scale energy-efficiency programs.

Whole-Building Energy Modeling (BEM) is a flexible tool that can be used to design new and old buildings, make sure they follow the rules, qualify for tax credits and utility incentives, control buildings in real time, do large-scale analyses for energy-efficiency codes, and make policy decisions.

Learning Objectives

• Overview of Energy Model Results Interpretations.
• Perform a reality check, a software check, parametric bracketing, review data for anomalies, resolve loads not met, and hours outside the control range.
• Analyze simulation outputs and compare them to targets.
