Building Information Model
 

Energy Simulation

PB uses state of the art energy simulation software to aid in the analysis of energy usage in buildings. This software analyzes design alternatives that improve energy efficiency while maintaining thermal comfort and cost-effectiveness of buildings. By utilizing a BIM as the basis of the simulation, alternative design options, accurate estimates of the proposed building's energy consumption, interior environmental conditions and energy operation cost can be obtained.

PB is able to take a BIM, position lighting fixtures as they would in the real world in order to evaluate the lighting effects of any given design both visually and quantitatively. Light intensity can be specified with daylight standards, in photometric units, or industry-standard data formats for manufactured lighting fixtures.

Using the BIM to incorporate both energy and lighting simulations energy consumption is minimized while optimal comfort is achieved.
