Energy benchmarking tool ?Energy Compass? set to launch
A team led by RWDI and including the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) and Toronto?s Architect 2030 District have developed Compass, an energy benchmarking tool, which is launching this week in Toronto.
The Energy Compass tool streamlines energy benchmarking and reporting during the design phase of building development projects. The tool enables users to upload energy models (eQuest, EnergyPlus, or IES-VE) and then automatically extracts over 400 building variables and completes the submission requirements for six building standards and programs (LEED, TGS, OBC SB-10, 2030 Challenge, TGS and HPNC) in a matter of seconds.
A data visualization platform allows users to benchmark their modelled building against a database, which in turn, informs the design process pushing buildings to ever higher levels of performance. In the past, the information contained in energy simulation files has not been leveraged to analyze performance trends or benchmark like buildings to improve performance. Compass is designed to enhance the quality of modeled energy performance, improve the energy literacy of the design and construction community, improve conservation program delivery, and ultimately reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from every proposed building development in Ontario.
In 2017, TAF provided technical development funding to enable the first phase of the larger project. The primary outcomes of this phase of the project included a robust matrix of energy model ...
