The 2012 American Institute of Architect’s Guide to Integrating Energy Modeling in the Design Process expresses a critical professional need to more clearly understand and utilize energy modeling. Beyond the business benefits energy modeling provides practice, is the transformed potential of conceptual energy modeling to produce energy efficient architecture. Today this is accomplished using specific software often utilized by energy consultants. Building information modeling (BIM) could expand energy modeling use beyond these experts. BIM plays a critical role for assisting designers in making the best decisions about energy savings in building design. It enables evaluation of energy considerations to occur early in conceptual design. BIM brings significant change to the architectural design process by introducing energy modeling early and thereby shortening the distance between evaluation and design.
The presentation, given by Tim Hemsath, USGBC NFC Board of Directors Regional Representative, LEED AP, Associate Professor, College of Architecture, UNL, will highlight modeling energy in building design helping attendees understanding what building performance simulation is, the role of building energy modeling (BEM) in the design process, conceptual design decisions, sensitivity analysis and design optimization, and how BIM affords assisting designers to evaluate design decisions. Key decisions about when and what to simulate during design is important to understand to reduce energy consumption of buildings. Talk is relevant to LEED v4 credit for Integrative process using energy modeling throughout the design development process
