Striving to create more energy-efficient buildings by enhancing building performance through precise modeling of daylight + glare, energy and thermal, and condensation.
Enhancing Comfort + Energy Efficiency
Jensen Hughes offers comprehensive solutions for optimising building performance through advanced modelling techniques. We optimise natural daylight and minimise glare to ensure thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
Daylight + Glare Modelling
Using the latest modelling software (RadienceIES), our energy and sustainability consultants can help maximise the natural daylight available in a building, minimise glare and maintain thermal comfort without the need for excess energy consumption. We also use National Construction Code Natural Light Simulation and other appropriate assessment/verification methods to measure the natural daylight in all habitable rooms so that it meets an average daylight factor of not less than 2%.
Energy + Thermal Comfort Simulation
Energy and thermal comfort simulation is used to predict the realistic annual energy demand of a building once completed and help minimise the use of artificial heating and cooling. Our energy and sustainability consultants can perform energy and thermal simulations for accurate predictions of annual energy demand and thermal comfort levels of a building. We also assist in recommending design and service changes to achieve an efficient outcome, thereby reducing energy costs throughout the lifetime of the building.
Condensation Management
Condensation and mould growth within external walls and roofs can be harmful to our health and cause rotting of insulation, boards and framing. Our energy and sustainability consultants use hygrothermal modelling software to provide condensation analysis and management assessments and predict mould growth based on substrate material, temperature and relative humidity. We also provide technical advice for minimising the risk of mould growth in your building and complying with the latest National Construction Code requirements.
