Buildings represent a large fraction of global carbon emissions and energy consumption. Firstgreen team is experts in reducing energy consumption through whole building energy simulation using eQuest. Firstgreen offers full service in green building certification, including the building’s energy optimisation and simulation modeling. Our team provides guidance to every step of your project development.
We are having India’s largest green building portfolio as a green building consulting firm.
Energy Modeling
Guaranteed savings in your plant through our specialised plant performance assessment services.
Our team provides expert guidance at every phase of your Green Building Certification process. Green building rating systems are intented to provide building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.
Major credit points are found in Energy and atmosphere category, under respective guidelines building’s energy score can be calculated in two approaches.
1. Prescriptive Compliance Path
The individual
building components (envelope, lighting, and HVAC systems), comply with the minimum requirements prescribed by ASHRAE 90.1. 2010 and Advanced Energy Design Guide for Small to Medium Office Buildings or the Advanced BuildingsTM Core PerformanceTM Guide, depending on the building type, size, usage, etc.
2. Energy Performance Path
Whole Building Energy Simulation requires an improvement in energy usage be demonstrated with an energy model of the building that follows the Building Performance Rating Method found in Appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1-2010.
Using the Energy Performance Path, an hourly building simulation model was developed using the eQUEST(DOE2.2) computer software. The features of the baseline building model are minimally compliant with ASHRAE 90.1-2010 Appendix G. Improvements to this model are then made to reflect design improvements to the building’s envelope, lighting, and HVAC systems that have been incorporated into the as-proposed building. The energy cost savings between the ASHRAE 90.1 benchmark building and the as-designed building are then used to determine the number of Energy Optimization Credits.
HVAC systems also affect the health, comfort, and productivity of occupants. Issues like user discomfort, improper ventilation, lack of air movement and poor indoor air quality, and poor acoustic design are linked to HVAC system design and operation and can be improved.
