However, an early analysis of a building\u2019s MEP and other key systems \u2013 known as rapid performance modeling or \u201cRPM\u201d \u2013 can help owners understand the big decisions that will define their building\u2019s performance from the very beginning.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">RPM occurs during concept and\/or schematic design phases and pairs quick modeling studies with timely design guidance for key features like building insulation and mass, glazing and shading passive strategies, and HVAC and lighting systems. It prioritizes the most impactful analyses that produce actionable results within a focused two- to three-week period.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">IMEG recently provided RPM for UW Health\u2019s East Campus\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imegcorp.com\/project\/ambulatory-care-and-outpatient-clinic\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">ambulatory care and outpatient clinic<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0in Mad<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">i<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">son, WI, a 460,000-sf facility<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0originally<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0on a fast track schedule. To achieve the owner\u2019s goals of LEED and Energy Star certifications, outcome-based EUI goals, environmental stewardship, carbon reduction, and best-in-class operations, the team focused the schematic design on evaluating the most efficient path to high performance through MEP systems selection and architectural design approaches.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The RPM was a key asset to the integrated team that included the owner, architect, general contractor, and IMEG. The team evaluated several options for the facility\u2019s HVAC system, modeled energy consumption for each proposed system, and included a life cycle cost analysis to inform mechanical system selection. Key analyses included geothermal, VRF, ice storage, and solar PV. One analysis uncovered $2 million in savings from the custom rooftop units that could be re-purposed to enhance the building envelope system. Other sustainable design features included an optimized fa\u00e7ade, high-efficiency water-cooled chillers, dry cooler for winter chilled water load, un-occupied shutoff in exam rooms, condensing boilers, and in-floor perimeter radiant heating. The facility is designed to achieve 18 percent energy savings and 30 percent water savings over the baseline.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Early analysis provides solutions \u2013 such as the examples above \u2013 that may not otherwise be feasible or would have added cost if the decisions were deferred until later, which is often the case. RPM also helps the design team implement the best and most cost-effective strategies, establishes early agreement on goals and project approach, and is easily integrated into presentation decks, reports, and submittals \u2013 all at a lower cost compared to detailed modeling.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early analysis of MEP and key systems through rapid performance modeling can provide energy and cost savings for owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6338,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3,147,267,1],"tags":[223,221,224,220,222,219],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Have a fear of missing out?
