Computer simulation tools to optimize engineering solutions: Building Energy Modeling, Building Information Modeling, and Performance Modeling
We discovered that by incorporating performance analysis into our design workflow, the process stimulates collaborative thinking, multidisciplinary decision-making, creativity and innovation—all critical elements for successful engineering design.
Our modeling experience allows us to customize the analysis to fit project needs for building energy efficiency, carbon emissions, daylighting, thermal comfort, solar shading and penetration, glare, luminance and illumance (radiance), artificial lighting, internal loads and building envelope manipulation. Whether the task is to evaluate the energy performance of various design alternatives or perform a short circuit analysis on an electrical infrastructure system, P2S has the tools and experience to provide these simulations.
Energy modeling and simulation is the key to whole building design and optimizing building envelopes, lighting and HVAC systems. By using this technology on building systems design, it is possible to achieve dramatic energy reductions while ensuring good daylight levels and thermal comfort. P2S Engineering, a Long Beach, California consulting engineering company brings broad experience in the design, implementation and commissioning of real-world projects and provides the necessary background to better model building performance.
