Methodology

Basic Workflow

1. Generate Assets

In the Building Decarbonization Calculator, you will create one or more building assets using a simple description of the building.

2. Customize Scenarios

For each of those assets, there are multiple scenarios. Each scenario describes how the implementation of a set of Energy and Carbon Conservation Measures (ECCMs) affect the cost, carbon, and energy use of that building over time. A number of scenarios are generated automatically for each asset. You can also create additional scenarios with custom combinations of ECCMs.

3. Share Asset-Level Results

A PDF describing the asset and all its scenarios can be downloaded or viewed online using a sharable "secret link." Use this to communicate results to clients, team members, and other project stakeholders.

4. Build a Portfolio of Many Assets

Multiple assets can be analyzed together as a portfolio. The portfolio views helps to identify which assets will have the largest potential for cost, carbon, and energy savings.
