Enermodal Engineering provides a full range
of mechanical and electrical engineering
design services. We can evaluate design
concepts, prepare drawings and
specifications, estimate capital costs,
assist with tender evaluations and provide
reviews of shop drawings. During
construction, Enermodal can provide
construction site reviews to assess
compliance with building drawings and
specifications. Our building designs are
among the most energy efficient and
environmentally appropriate in North
America.
Daylighting Analysis
Enermodal is one of the leading daylighting design firms in North America. Our personnel were national representatives to the International Energy Agency Task on Daylighting and prepared the widely acclaimed "Daylighting Design Guide for Canadian Commercial
Buildings." Our services include simulation of daylighting illumination and annual energy savings using
RADIANCE and the Building Design Advisor (BDA) software and design of effective daylighting strategies and control systems.
Building Envelope Heat and Moisture Transfer
Many building envelopes suffer premature failure due to moisture build-up and thermal bridging. Enermodal has the expertise to design building envelopes that can perform well in any environment. We have performed more ASHRAE research projects dealing with envelope heat and moisture transfer than any other firm. Furthermore, Enermodal has provided expert opinion to the Model National Energy Code and several national and international envelope standards. Wall, window and curtain wall heat transfer and surface temperatures can be analyzed with the FRAMEplus software. Diurnal and seasonal moisture transfer can be assessed with the WUFI computer program.
Ventilation and Air Flow Analysis
Displacement ventilation, demand-controlled ventilation and natural cooling are effective strategies for achieving better indoor air quality and lower energy costs. Enermodal evaluates the performance of these systems using detailed heat and air flow models and determines the best system design.
