The building industry accounts for 38% of all energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. To reduce this number, there has been a push to produce sustainable properties. This can be done by reducing energy consumption and using recycled materials.

Yet, creating an energy-efficient home takes careful planning. Lowering energy use is key in sustainable design. That's where energy modeling technology comes into play. Here is how energy modeling is vital in constructing eco-friendly properties.

What Is Energy Modeling?

Building energy modeling (BEM) allows engineers to simulate building energy systems. They learn important information about system feasibility, greenhouse gas emissions, and total costs. A designer can also input certain parameters, including building location and weather. BEM is a (...)
