About two months ago, I created an AI energy model to determine how much time and effort it required. Much to my surprise, it was faster and easier than I expected, with some interesting challenges, and I will outline the process here. Note that this process works with any software. I chose eQUEST because it required me to gather data from varying text-based files. After all, most AI requires collecting and organizing data that isn't in Excel format.

Here's a quick rundown of how it worked:

Rebates and tax deductions deductions are two pillars of energy modeling.

Everyone should know about the 179D tax deduction. It's basically like a LEED model without the LEED review, and you get paid if the results are promising.

With the help of eSai LLC experts, we will teach you how to receive as much as $5/square foot in federal tax deductions for your energy efficiency projects from 2006 to 2024. The session includes a Q & A discussion from an expert

Bob Fassbender and guest expert Nandini Mouli, PhD will work together to bring you up to speed. You can choose one of the following time slots:

In the quest for energy efficiency, many property owners and developers are turning to energy modeling to optimize building performance and reduce operating costs. However, the benefits of energy modeling extend beyond just energy savings. Did you know that incorporating energy modeling into your building project can also help you secure lower interest rates on loans? Financial institutions increasingly recognize the value of energy-efficient buildings, and they are offering better loan terms to projects that demonstrate significant energy savings through energy modeling. Here’s how energy modeling can help you save on loan costs, along with a list of specific programs that offer these financial benefits.
