[Expertise] Energy modeling: a powerful tool for sustainable buildings
Energy modeling is a whole building simulation process that engineers, architects, and researchers use to model the energy consumption of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, electronic equipment, and process loads. The simulation can give hourly time step results or even sub-hourly time step results (for example 15 minutes) which makes it possible to carry out a detailed analysis of the thermal
[Expertise] How to optimize buildings airflow and air temperature with Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD)
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) is a tool used to analyze fluid flows and temperature. In the case of building and environmental engineering, it can be used for internal spaces (large spaces such as warehouses, exhibition spaces or workshops) or external spaces (districts, neighborhoods or cities). In internal space, CFD is used to calculate thermal comfort via the calculation of airspeed, air temperature, “age” of air

[Net Zero Carbon] Reduce your carbon footprint through green commuting!
To commute from home to work, do you know which transportation means will emit the least or the most carbon emissions? One would think that carbon footprint reduction is normally a big concept and normally of a national scale, but there is still low hanging fruit that individuals can do for the climate. Increasing findings show that transportation shares the
