Can Performance Modeling Help Me Become More Energy Efficient?

While doing an energy audit is more of a qualitative approach to making your buildings more energy efficient, developing a "Performance Model" is more of a quantitative approach. If you decide that more rigorous information is desired, Silver State Renewables, Inc. can provide a "Performance Model" of your building, with all of its equipment, lighting and occupant gains, and give you feedback on the energy flow into and out of the structure using hourly weather data for your area. In specific we can model any combination of the following:
  • exterior cladding (any material, in any combination of layers).
  • insulation (any type, in any thickness, buried or exposed).
  • glazing material (any type, in any size, in any number of multiple layers, at any angle to the suns position in the sky, at any time of the year).
  • thermal storage technique ( any type, in any quantity).
  • infiltration rate (any rate of outside air exchange).
  • humidity ratio (any moisture level).
  • occupancy (any number of human or animal residents).
  • any type of heating, cooling or water heating equipment.
  • any type of lighting equipment.
  • any type of electrical equipment (motors, computers, appliances, etc.).

This is especially beneficial if you are considering remodeling an older building or for that matter building a new structure and want to know what you might expect to pay in utility bills before the work begins. Call or email us, with your questions, or for a quote.
