Building Performance Analysis

Reducing Environmental Impact

IMEG has built a global reputation for engineering services of high-performance buildings that maximize efficiency and flexibility with forward-thinking design solutions. We believe that the performance and energy goals laid out during the concept design phase should be achieved during operations and work diligently with our clients to see tangible results. This approach maximizes value while reducing environmental impact and carbon emissions.

Our building performance analysts assist owners and designers in optimizing building energy consumption, occupant comfort, and wellness. This provides valuable cost-benefit information to assist decision makers in their capital investment planning while also making the building comfortable and healthy for its occupants. Our project approach extends beyond basic energy modeling during the design phase. Our team maintains a holistic skill set that includes energy, daylighting, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and occupant comfort analysis. In addition, IMEG’s structural team can provide a Life Cycle Assessment to provide data on the embodied carbon of the different structural materials used in a building’s construction. We leverage all of this expertise to align our approach with our client’s expectations.
