Our Past Energy Modelling Experience
Here are some of our projects focused on energy modelling, daylight modelling and Green Star Rating
Surry Hills
Through JV3 modelling, construction cost was reduced by keeping existing walls from new works (insulation).
Porcupine Ridge
Using VURB pathway, we managed to reduce overall glazing U-values from U2.1 to U2.7
Middle Tarwin
Through VURB, overall window U-values increased from U2.3 to U2.9. Also, feasibility study showed best results for bore water geothermal.
Keysborough
Through VURB, we were able to obtain energy compliance for the proposed new dwelling with U3.2 instead of U2.2
Devonport 2
Through VURB pathway, we managed to have an overall U-value of U3.9 instead of 3.3 (5.6 stars from NatHERS)
Somerville
Single-glazing windows were enough to keep the proposed building facades reaching a maximum U-value of 2.0 as required by the NCC
North Melbourne
Through VURB, we were able to achieve compliance by having windows with an overall U-value of U3.3 (a 27% increase)
Kogarah bay
The main BASIX commitments included high-efficiency cooling system, rainwater tank, water-efficient fixtures and heat pump water heater
Gravelly Beach
Through VURB, we were able to obtain energy compliance for the proposed new dwelling with U3.1 instead of U2.0
Seven hills
The main BASIX commitments included solar PV, rainwater tank, water-efficient fixtures, pool cover and heat pump water heater
South Windsor
We were assigned to this project to investigate whether the project's bedrooms achieve adequate daylight access
Connewarre
Through VURB pathway, construction cost was reduced by increasing average window U-values from U2.2 to U2.9
Lysterfield
Through VURB pathway, glazing cost was reduced by increasing averaged U value from U2.6 to U2.7.
Mornington
Through VURB pathway, glazing cost was reduced by increasing U-value from U1.9 to U2.5
Bullengarook
Through VURB pathway, construction cost was reduced by increasing average window U-values from U3.6 to U3.9.
Nulla Vale
Through VURB pathway, glazing cost was reduced by increasing U-value from U2.0 to U2.7
Hopetoun Park
Through VURB pathway, construction cost was reduced by increasing average window U-values from U2.1 to U2.4
Claude Road
Through VURB pathway, glazing cost was reduced by increasing U-value from U2.8 to U3.5
Narre Warren
Through JV3 modelling, construction cost was reduced by keeping the concrete slab from any added insulation
Promised land
Through JV3 modelling, glazing cost was reduced by increasing averaged U-value from U4.5 to U5.2
Blairgowrie
Through VURB pathway, glazing cost was reduced by increasing U-value from U2.0 to U2.6.
Carlton North
Through daylight modelling, the building owner's claim regarding the overshadowing of the proposed neighbouring building is validated.
Bell Buoy Beach
Through VURB pathway, glazing cost was reduced by increasing U-value from U3.0 to U3.5.
Templestowe
Through JV3 modelling, construction cost was reduced by keeping existing walls from new works (insulation).
