ENERGY MODELING AND LIFE CYCLE COST ANALYSIS

KLG Jones can provide full building energy simulation on a variety of software platforms, from the simplest to the most complex building types. Energy simulation is invaluable in helping building owners make savvy business decisions when investing in energy conservation measures for both new and existing buildings.

An energy simulation will provide an accurate analysis of the annual energy savings of a potential energy conservation measure before the investment is made. Life cycle cost analysis is then used to calculate the economic benefit and payback of the measure over the life of the building.
