Energy Modeling. The City of Fort Xxxxxxx will provide the energy modeling services firm and the Professional will be asked to coordinate the design with this firm.
Energy Modeling. Design Professional shall provide energy modeling of the proposed facility and prepare energy consumption life cycle cost analysis of the facility based on different designs options and operational considerations to determine the most economical use of energy design for the operation of the facility. Energy Modeling shall be accomplished using a computer simulation model using the Whole Building Energy Simulation method. Initial energy modeling shall be developed during the schematic design phase of the project and updated to determine and report to the Owner the effects of design decisions on anticipated energy consumption during the life of the building. A final Energy model shall be run based on the final requirements of the Construction Documents. Energy model shall take into account all forms of energy to be consumed within the LEED Project Boundary as part of the overall energy cost of operating the facility.
Energy Modeling. The goal of this subtask is to create hourly energy models for each technology upgrade being performed to be used to evaluate potential energy savings and payback of proposed designs based on life cycle cost analysis (LCCA). The Recipient shall: • Prepare energy models in a recognized software for commercial buildings such as EnergyPlus or IESVE for proposed measures, including AHU upgrades to VAV and CUP upgrades (chiller plant configuration, heat recovery chiller, and boiler stack economizers). • Provide input into LCCA studies including estimates of energy and cost savings from implementation of emerging technologies compared to the baseline model. • Prepare Hospital Energy Modeling Report describing the results of initial modeling activities and LCCA studies including: o Description of baseline modeling assumptions and agreement with actual site data o Description of each upgrade case modeled with energy savings and LCCA, including methodology used in determining LCCA for each upgrade, assumptions used and how payback will be calculated Products: • Hospital Energy Modeling Report (draft and final)
Energy Modeling. The Architect will provide services to prepare a computer-generated energy model with all necessary data and analysis as a submission to obtain LEED® Optimize Energy Performance Credit(s).
Energy Modeling. The fee for this additional service is $21,000.
