Climatic Design, LLC (CDL) has performed a whole-building energy model simulation, a comprehensive energy analysis, and an assessment of the building systems and configuration for the Towson University College of Health Professions (TU CHP). Simulation results of the final energy models, as demonstrated in the total energy usage table, indicate the proposed design is 32.4% more energy cost efficient than the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 reference model. Upon the approval by GBCI, the project would achieve 13 points from the Optimize Energy Performance credit.
