Energy Performance Consulting

Energy performance consulting uses energy modeling and simulation to inform high-performance design, compare design alternatives, and support compliance with energy codes and certification programs. RDH’s work spans national and regional standards across North America like ASHRAE 90.1, the BC Energy Step Code, California Title 24, and the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB), as well as sustainability certifications and incentive programs that require whole-building energy modeling.

• Energy modeling simulates operational energy use and compares design alternatives across mechanical system and building enclosure configurations.
• Net zero design consulting aligns enclosure, HVAC, electrification, and renewable energy strategies to support net zero energy and zero-carbon targets.
• Tax credit and deduction consulting supports U.S. project teams with documentation, modeling, and analysis to access federal energy efficiency incentives under §45L and §179D.
