Energy modeling, also known as building performance simulation, allows building owners to analyze their buildings’ performance before they are constructed - without incurring a great deal of cost. GreeNexus provides performance-based simulations that allow design teams, building owners, and certification agencies to accurately understand the predicted energy use of a building. By providing early energy model results, GreeNexus can help you leverage the design process to achieve your desired level of energy savings. Some of our specific building simulation services include compliance modeling for various codes and certification agencies, along with daylight simulation. For more information, please contact us.

Comprehensive metrics are needed to fully engage and understand a building's impact from cradle to grave. GreeNexus provides this tool in a process known as whole building Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). LCA offers a menu of measures that can be taken to reduce said impacts and increase sustainability while still in the design phase. As a credit in LEED v4, one option in Building Life-Cycle Impact Reduction seeks to reduce environmental impacts by a minimum of 10% through the use of LCA. GreeNexus is ready to take your project to the next level with an innovative LCA. For more information, contact us.
