High-performing energy efficiency has become a fundamental piece of the design process. As such, a multidisciplinary approach to building and energy performance should be embedded into every project workflow. Running a design through an energy model can let engineers, architects, and designers see the effects of design changes on a building’s energy consumption, allowing them to make educated decisions regarding building layout, component selection, and environmental impact.
Vee Technologies complies with code-based sustainability requirements, operating as an invaluable resource to provide comprehensive consulting services for third-party certification programs and troubleshooting challenging high-performance projects. Our in-house architects and engineers are trained for energy modeling, life cycle assessment, benchmarking, and other studies that can help improve and verify the performance of new and existing buildings.
