The Emanuelson-Podas Building Performance Group gives building owners, developers, facility management professionals and design teams the ability to leverage our in-depth experience in energy modeling, commissioning and sustainable design to intelligently achieve their project goals and optimize the performance of their buildings.
Commissioning
An effective building commissioning process ensures that buildings operate as intended, meeting the expectations and requirements of the owner. When done well, it informs and enhances the design, equipment installation, operations and maintenance of the space.
CommissioningEnergy Modeling
At EP, our engineer-led energy modeling department simulates and analyzes a building’s energy performance by creating a virtual representation of its systems, components and usage patterns. It predicts energy consumption and assists in the selection of appropriate MEP systems and design elements.
Energy ModelingSustainable Design
Whether chasing net zero; pursuing a sustainability program, such as LEED, Minnesota B3, Green Communities or Living Building Challenge; or simply looking to improve a building’s performance to minimize environmental impact; our thoughtful approach to sustainable design is rooted in extensive MEP engineering expertise.
