Our Services

Energy Modeling
ZED analyzes architectural plans, simulates the energy performance and operating costs of homes or buildings, and presents recommendations to achieve your goals, such as lower energy costs and a reduced carbon footprint. We are committed to a minimum energy reduction for our clients of 50% better than required by building code. Using energy modeling software we address energy conservation, efficient consumption, and renewable energy production.

Cost Analysis
ZED energy efficiency recommendations are analyzed using solid data, including energy prices, projected savings, real costs from your contractor, available financial incentives, inflation rates, your borrowing costs, maintenance costs, and the lifespan of the energy efficiency measure. Financial analysis of this data provides a true cost-benefit analysis and clarifies where your money is best invested for improved energy performance.

HVAC Design
ZED provides calculations for heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, specifies and sizes the equipment, and then develops construction drawings for the distribution system (ducts & hydronic). Proper sizing and design result in a right-sized system, lower equipment costs, longer equipment life, increased energy performance, and lower utility bills.

As an objective third party, we have no financial affiliation to manufacturers or product vendors.
