Suppose you meet with an architect and ask her to design a building. You tell her the design you'd like, the size, and where it will be located. You might also specify the level of energy efficiency ...

A new study has demonstrated a novel approach to integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Building Energy ...

The US has committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. To accomplish this goal, large cuts in emissions are necessary, especially in high-emission sectors like the building industry. Researchers ...

Creating an energy-use model and cost profile early in a project design process—using lightweight tools and resources, such as energy use intensity data and DOE commercial benchmark model data—can ...

Description: simulationHub has released Buildings AI, a cloud-based building energy modeling platform that combines the EnergyPlus engine with AI-driven automation. The software streamlines complex ...

The building sector in the U.S. accounts for 39 percent of energy use, with commercial buildings responsible for about half of that. As cities grapple with climate change, making commercial buildings ...

With the development of software programs like DOE-2 and EnergyPlus, it's never been easier for Building Teams to evaluate potential energy saving measures for a building project. However, preparing ...
