Baumann uses simplified models to help clients identify high-performing, cost-effective design decisions on building form, window-to-wall ratio, envelope thermal and optical properties, lighting systems, and HVAC systems.

Baumann develops detailed whole building energy simulations where higher accuracy is required such as when documenting compliance with energy code and third-party requirements including IECC, IgCC, LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, and Enterprise Green Communities.

Baumann uses a cloud-based software to create energy models to optimize energy demands for communities with hundreds of buildings and test energy supply and distribution options to improve energy efficiency and resiliency.

Baumann’s daylight simulation provides room-by-room results to help lower artificial lighting usage and improve visual comfort via architectural optimization. The results can be used to show compliance with LEED and other green building certification requirements.

Project teams developing data centers, labs, cleanrooms, surgical theaters, and other mission-critical facilities can rely on CFD results to help ensure their designs will meet stringent airflow and thermal condition tolerances.

Baumann uses finite element heat transfer analysis techniques to help architects identify condensation and comfort issues, optimize the performance, and realistically specify envelope thermal properties.
