Who Benefits from Energy Modeling?
Energy modeling offers valuable insights to Architects, Developers, MEP engineers, and Sustainability Consultants:
​
​With increasing demands for operating cost savings and climate action across the U.S., the organizations we work with seek efficient ways to reduce energy costs and minimize environmental impact.
​
-
Architects and Engineers can optimize a building’s orientation to reduce cooling costs, and assess whether moderately reflective windows offer better value over highly reflective ones.
-
Contractors can save hundreds of thousands of dollars by selecting cost-effective, high-performance component packages through our solution.
-
MEP Engineers. Our energy models enable MEP engineers to deliver greater value to their clients while effectively addressing evolving challenges. Given that HVAC and lighting systems account for a significant portion of a building’s energy use, MEP systems are often the primary focus in both new construction and retrofitting projects. As building codes tighten and sustainability goals become more ambitious, a holistic, collaborative approach is crucial to achieving substantial energy savings.
Why Energy Modeling
Energy modeling can generate profits in the hundreds of thousands by helping developers, architects, builders, MEP engineers, and sustainability consultants choose the most cost-effective, high-performance components. Architects and engineers can optimize building orientation to harness sunlight for cooling efficiency, and determine if highly reflective windows are worth the investment, or if more affordable options will suffice.
​
For building owners, energy models clarify the differences between a 20,000-watt and 50,000-watt solar system, calculate the payback period, and help identify the best option. They can also assess whether additional insulation might reduce cooling capacity, resulting in smaller, less expensive HVAC systems, and determine if spray foam or fiberglass insulation is the better choice. Even decisions as detailed as roof color can be guided by energy modeling to enhance overall performance.
​
Developers benefit by investing confidently while cutting construction costs, meeting energy standards, and satisfying tenant demands.

Ark Design's energy team makes energy modeling accessible and affordable for all building types. Energy simulation, or modeling, is one of the most powerful tools available in building design. While it’s essential for meeting energy codes, earning LEED points, and reporting tax credits, its true value lies in its strategic application. By modeling every component and condition of a building, we identify where the greatest energy savings can be achieved, optimizing performance and reducing costs.
From LEED and Passive House (Phius) to ENERGY STAR, NGBS, and ASHRAE 90.1-based Green/Sustainable programs, we've got you covered.
Building energy standards become more stringent around the world. By adopting our semi-automated solution, you may cut your building construction costs by 3% while adhering to these new regulations, as well as have a positive influence on carbon emissions.
​
We can assist you in obtaining the energy certification or tax rebate by designing highly efficient structures based on the information provided by our energy models. We encourage you to join us in our effort to create green buildings for a bright future free of the threats of climate change and natural disasters.
