Design Implications: US Department of Energy’s New Efficiency Requirements in 2023
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will enact new nationwide efficiency requirements for HVAC equipment on January 1, 2023. As part of the DOE’s goal to reduce overall energy consumption, the rating procedure (i.e., the performance calculation) has become more stringent and complex. Excluding split system heat pumps, split system air conditioners that do not meet these new ratings will not be installable after January 1, 2023. Equipment currently in production is being phased out in anticipation of this new..
Jordan & Skala Continues as an MEP Giant
JSE rises to #38 in the rankings: an exciting 13-spot climb. Since our inception, Jordan & Skala Engineers has had a mission to listen, communicate, and adapt. These prerogatives remain essential as we work towards building a more resilient and sustainable landscape in the A/E/C industry. Electrification, decarbonization, and the move towards renewables are shaping how we engineer for the future. Design partners must adapt to achieve these goals. We are proud to be rooted in MEP design while boasting..
Energy Modeling: Owners’ & Developers’ Guide
Today’s building energy codes are continually evolving, alongside sustainability and green building programs. Two critical components of both energy codes and green building programs are energy performance and verification. The results from energy modeling provide data-driven energy performance predictions, which can be used to attract tenants, avoid costly retrofits, and analyze how different systems or equipment could impact energy use. With building energy modeling, licensed sustainability experts calculate a project’s potential energy consumption to help Owners and Developers ensure compliance..
Essentials of Energy Benchmarking on Multi-Family Properties
Since 2019, more than 3,000 sustainability-related disclosures, regulations, and policy instruments have been developed worldwide to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, manage water resources, mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and improve air quality in real estate assets. The global movement to address these issues through environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives reflects societies’ elevated expectations of governments and organizations to help manage natural resources and improve local communities. In turn, Investors have become increasingly socially and environmentally conscious, as..
