Advanced Climate Solutions
Green Building Services' Advanced Climate Solutions group delivers a comprehensive technical approach to creating high performance buildings. Our technical experts combine years of experience solving complex problems with a passion for achieving our clients' building performance goals. Using innovative solutions and a set of sophisticated technical services, our ACS team helps address the reality of climate change within the built environment.
Our services deliver critical information to the design development, and ownership teams throughout the building's lifecycle. These services include:
- Bioclimatic Analysis
- Energy Modeling & Analysis
- Carbon Foot Printing
- Computational Fluide Dynamics
- DayLight Modeling
Bioclimatic Analysis
The process of identifying, understanding and controlling climatic influences at the building site is perhaps the most critical part of building design. A bioclimatic analysis overlays climate conditions with comfort parameters and helps target the best approach to achieve the optimal balance within the project while expending the least amount of energy.
Energy Modeling and Analysis
Green Building Services utilizes the latest simulation tools to give clients the information they need for making informed decisions based on energy, economic, and environmental challenges and metrics of the built environment. Having this knowledge empowers our clients to meet the global challenge and improve their building's performance for long-term viability."
Carbon Footprinting
Green Building Services' Advanced Climate Solutions group designed their operational carbon footprinting analysis for businesses who wish to account for, track and ultimately reduce the emissions associated with operating a building and an organization. This comprehensive approach ensures that we are preparing our clients for the future of mandatory reporting.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
CFD modeling offers our project teams insight into the motion and dynamics of airflows through sophisticated computer modeling. When executed correctly, the CFD software predicts the quantitative effects of air movement on the physical environment and allows you to make a more informed decision about your building's site, systems and operations. These strategies are used in the development of a number of sustainable strategies such as natural and displacement ventilation.
Daylight Modeling
Our daylight modeling services help clients and project teams visualize the impacts of building orientation and form; fenestration placement and design; and interior design on natural lighting, glare and overall illumination. The analysis focuses on the size, location and orientation of the space's glazed openings; properties of the glazing materials; and the performance of shading and overhangs.
