Building Energy Modeling

Beall & Asso­ciates, Inc. makes full use of Build­ing Energy Mod­el­ing tech­nolo­gies in the design of build­ing sys­tems. Pri­mary uses include the following:

  • Eval­u­ate Envi­ron­men­tal Impact of Projects
  • Energy Con­sump­tion Analy­sis of Alter­na­tives – Archi­tec­tural, Mechanical
  • Eco­nomic Analy­sis of Alter­na­tives – Archi­tec­tural, Mechanical
  • LEED Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion
  • Energy Code Compliance

Soft­ware Used:

  • DOE 2.2
  • eQuest
  • IES
  • Trace
  • fChart

Cur­rently, Richard L. Beall is the only Hawaii engi­neer to have earned the Build­ing Energy Mod­el­ing Pro­fes­sional cer­ti­fi­ca­tion from the Amer­i­can Soci­ety of Heat­ing, Refrig­er­at­ing and Air-Conditioning Engi­neers, (ASHRAE).

This ASHRAE cer­ti­fi­ca­tion pro­gram attests to an individual’s abil­ity to eval­u­ate, choose, use, cal­i­brate and inter­pret the results of energy mod­el­ing soft­ware when applied to build­ing and sys­tems energy per­for­mance and eco­nom­ics. It also con­firms an individual’s com­pe­tence to model new and exist­ing build­ings and sys­tems with their full range of physics.
