Energy Modeling

Enermodal assists building owners and design teams to
design more energy- efficient buildings, to comply with
the MNECB, and to earn LEED energy credits. A three-step process is
used to ensure that the maximum incentive is achieved at
the lowest construction cost.
During the concept design phase, Enermodal holds
workshops with the design team to identify the most
cost-effective energy efficiency measures. A
“green shopping list” of potential measures compares potential concepts and
technologies in terms of many factors, including capital
cost, energy cost savings, and payback period.
During design development, Enermodal reviews drawings
and specifications to ensure the energy efficiency
measures are correctly implemented and meet the LEED
energy targets. When the design drawings are complete, Enermodal
performs the final energy simulation, prepares the
necessary paperwork and submits the application.
Enermodal provides
training courses for Natural Resources Canada across
Canada and are approved design facilitators for the
Union Gas/Enbridge Design Assistance Program. We have
modeled over 150 projects located across Canada and cover all
building types: office, retail, institutional,
industrial, educational, multi-unit residential, nursing
homes, and hospitals. Enermodal has designed the most
energy efficient building in Canada: the University of
Ottawa Biology Building. This building was independently
verified at a 73% reduction in energy use relative to
the National Energy Code.
