Design Analysis: Energy Modeling and Operational Carbon
Energy modeling was carried out for the nine-story design using IES-VE software. The building was modeled as a whole, combining the energy use by the apartments with the common spaces on the first and second levels of the building. The modeled energy use on a monthly basis for a typical year is given in the chart below. The results of the modeling show that the building would consume 696 MWh and was predicted to have an EUI = 14.0.
The annual energy production of the solar PV system was not modeled since the installation space was so limited.
