It seems that a lot of project teams during the design stages want to know the influence on energy models and ultimately how big of a drop or gain in LEED points certain system changes will have. Ironically, the current process of LEED is analyzing the energy a building consumes based on systems that are already designed…<o:p></o:p></p><p>We are just about to roll out our new software tool which does exactly this. It’s quick, web based, and it models energy as well as construction cost, LEED, CO2 footprint, water, and long term financial performance. Check us out at <a href="http://www.cloudforestsoftware.com/">www.cloudforestsoftware.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>I’d love to get feedback from this group.
