Energy Performance Modeling

Establishing a direct connection to the LEED certification system, the BIM model is a vital and precise tool for energy calculations and analysis. Using BIM for building performance analysis ensures that building owners make sound investment decisions that balance performance and risk over multiyear projects and contracts. By utilizing BIM models and BIM analysis tools, federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as private developers and builders can :

• Easily assess and measure building performance
• Conserve energy, reduce water consumption, and improve building air quality.
• Prioritize investments and evaluate proposals to reduce operational costs

Using virtual sun and shadow studies, including accurate geographic site orientation the BIM model can provide additional information and calculations in the LEED process

Quantity Take-Offs

QTO BIM capabilities permits architects and designers to verify or refine costs for a project as they proceed, get rid of luxurious and time-consuming efforts to redesign projects to meet up budget demands. QTO improves the collaboration on early costing between manufacturers, architects, engineers, contractors and building owners. Cost and quantity data can be exported to Microsoft® Excel or Adobe® PDF
