As the global economy trends toward sustainable infrastructure, construction projects should reflect those priorities as well. Today, EMJ can calculate building energy consumption based on orientation and layout, building materials, and mechanical equipment. Using this data during the planning phase impacts the construction process as well as the completed facility’s operations costs for years to come. 3D Model-Based Energy Analysis

DISCOVER Meet with project stakeholders to determine: • Project Parameters • Building location and orientation • Building envelope materials • Energy usage goals, LEED, etc. • MEP Equipment requirements or needs ANALYZE & INTERACT
EMJ delivers a comprehensive energy analysis package for all design and planning components. Clients can make informed decisions about the building design, orientation, and location, all of which can have long-term cost implications.
Run model-based studies such as: • Shadow or Sunlight Analysis • Daylighting Studies • Building Envelope Analysis • LEED Rating Recommendations
BENEFITS An energy analysis provides the opportunity to make design decisions that can reduce operations costs of a facility for years to come. Costly change-orders during construction are minimized when energy and building envelope options are addressed early in the planning stage. Value Energy performance in buildings is the result of a complex set of interrelationships among the external environment. Building optimization,
achieving the greatest possible energy efficiency and environmental soundness with the least expenditure of resources, requires an understanding of these interrelationships.
