ENERGY MODELING

Energy modeling is necessary to verify a home’s energy efficiency rating and help identify potential areas for improvements. However, performing them properly takes time away from other tasks such as field work. Projected energy models can be created from plans by BER before home construction begins to assist you and the builder to identify potential areas of improvement. Energy models are available in REM/Rate or Ekotrope and can be used to verify energy ratings and gain certifications for many programs such as:

• Code Compliance (Performance Path Code Compliance Energy Modeling)
• DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes Program
• ENERGY STAR for Homes Program
• ENERGY STAR Multi-family New Construction Program
• Indoor Air Plus
• LEED for Homes
• Passive House (PHIUS)
• HERS Ratings
• RESCHECK
• 45L Tax Incentives

Residental energy modeling starts at $196
