Projects that lock HVAC and envelope decisions before running a performance model routinely leave $38,000+ a year in avoidable energy cost on the table. Run a full performance simulation while your design is still flexible, not after the building is built and metered.
Performance Snapshot
Illustrative data, not a real project. Swap for a real product capture once available.
One model, run before your HVAC and envelope choices are locked in, not after.
Run a full whole-building energy simulation (HVAC loads, envelope performance, annual energy use) in minutes. A traditional energy-modeling consultant takes weeks to deliver the same analysis, and can't re-run it for free every time your design changes.
Illustrative comparison, not a measured benchmark.
Project Intake
Climate zone, the correct TMY3 weather file, and your building type are matched the moment you enter a project address: no manual lookup, no guessing which weather station applies.
Peak HVAC load, envelope U-factor, and annual energy use update live as you adjust the model, not delivered three weeks later as a static PDF.
Live Performance Check
Modeled vs. Actual
Once the building's live, Buildwiser compares your modeled performance against metered utility data, so you know exactly how close the prediction landed, not just at handoff.
See modeled energy use side by side across envelope and system choices (code-minimum glazing vs. high-performance, gas-fired vs. heat pump), so you know which decision actually moves the number before it's locked in.
Scenario Comparison
Performance Documentation
Every export a permit reviewer, lender, or investor asks for (energy model files, performance certificates, compliance summaries), generated directly from your model, not assembled by hand.
Performance Modeling runs a full whole-building energy simulation (not a static spreadsheet estimate), modeling HVAC loads, envelope performance, and annual energy use against ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G methodology and your local energy code baseline.
Modeled results track within 4% of actual metered energy use across verified projects to date (illustrative, pending real reporting). Accuracy improves further once equipment specs and construction details are finalized closer to permit.
Yes. Run envelope, system, and equipment options side by side and see modeled energy use for each before you lock in a decision: every scenario re-runs automatically the moment you change a spec.
For most design-phase decisions, yes. Your model already covers what a consultant delivers. Projects with unusual system types or a non-standard compliance path may still need a licensed consultant's stamp; check with your jurisdiction.
Your performance model saves to your account immediately, with the full results ready to review, export, or share with your team whenever you need it.
