This on-going, multi-year effort involves:
Simulation Guidelines Development - The development and maintenance of energy modeling guidelines for the EPA's Energy Star ® Multi-family Pilot and Multifamily Performance Program. The program is administered by New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The guidelines provide an interpretation of ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G modeling protocol as applied to multi-family buildings. The Simulation Guidelines are now being adopted by LEED ® for Mid-rise Multifamily Pilot.
QA Process Development - The model review and quality assurance (QA) process was established to ensure consistency between multiple reviewers. In-depth understanding of energy simulation allowed us to optimize the review process to concentrate on aspects that have the most impact on results to maintain the quality of final submittals with minimal administration overhead.
General Consulting - In addition to the more specific tasks described above, Karpman Consulting provides consultation on both program design and day-to-day operations of the the Multifamily Performance Program.
