Energy Efficient Design

At Sustainable Solutions Corporation (SSC), our Energy Efficient Design (EED) service provides you with a comprehensive approach to optimizing your building’s energy use. We prioritize early engagement in the design process to enhance performance and ensure maximum return on investment.

By using advanced energy modeling, we simulate various scenarios, such as material choices and system configurations, to determine the best strategies for reducing energy consumption and costs. We provide a detailed sustainability savings register that outlines actionable Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) that promise measurable reductions in emissions and long-term energy savings.

  • EED utilizes less energy for the same functions in buildings, homes, and factories. The goal is to reduce energy consumption and waste while maintaining a comfortable, sustainable environment. This approach conserves resources and promotes an environmentally friendly future.

  • Energy modeling simulates and predicts energy consumption and generation in a building using mathematical models and software. It analyzes architectural design, HVAC systems, and occupancy patterns to find energy efficiency opportunities and optimize performance.

    This approach informs decisions on energy use and sustainability, playing a crucial role in planning new buildings and retrofits for reduced environmental impact and operational costs.

  • Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impacts of buildings throughout their life, from material extraction to waste disposal. This approach offers a comprehensive view of sustainability.

    The Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (WBLCA) plays a crucial role in advancing sustainability in building projects by contributing to LEED credits and addressing the imperative to reduce embodied carbon.

 

Expert Energy Modeling

Energy Modeling is the core of creating energy-efficient buildings. By using advanced simulation software, we develop precise 3D models of your building, incorporating every detail from materials used to the efficiency of your HVAC systems. These models allow us to analyze and predict the building’s energy consumption under various conditions and configurations.

Our energy modeling doesn’t just stop at predicting energy use; it’s also an integral part of the overall sustainability strategy. The insights gained from our models feed directly into the broader EED process, ensuring that every aspect of your building is optimized for both energy savings and reduced environmental impact. Whether you’re aiming for LEED Certification or simply want to minimize your building’s carbon footprint, our energy modeling provides the data you need to make informed, sustainable decisions.

Whole Building LCA

With our Whole Building LCA, we go a step further by evaluating the environmental impacts of your building materials. This analysis and our EED strategies provide a holistic view of your building’s environmental footprint.

By utilizing detailed building drawings, we are able to generate accurate quantities of each material type. This information is essential for determining the overall embodied carbon footprint of the entire building.
