Building Systems Analysis
A process that measures how a building's performance compares to the specified design.
This includes how the mechanical system operates and how much energy a building uses. Other aspects of this analysis include ventilated facade studies, lighting analysis, internal and external CFD airflow, solar analysis and others.
Potential Value
- Ensure building is operating to specified design and sustainable standards
- Identify opportunities to modify system operations to improve performance
- Create a "what if" scenario and change different materials throughout the building to show better or worse performance conditions
Resources Required
- Building Systems Analysis Software (Energy, Lighting, Mechanical, Other)
Team Competencies Required
- Ability to understand and manipulate CMMS and building control systems with Record Model
- Ability to understand typical equipment operation and maintenance practices
- Ability to manipulate, navigate, and review a 3D Model
