Climatic Design LLC has performed a whole-building energy model simulation, a comprehensive energy analysis, and an assessment of the building systems and configuration for the Forensic Science Laboratory (FS-Lab) project. Simulation results of the final energy models, as demonstrated in total energy usage table, indicate the proposed design is 31.2% more energy cost efficient than the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 reference model. Upon the approval by GBCI, the project would achieve 26 points from the Optimize Energy Performance credit.
