Case Study: Heriot-Watt University Dubai Campus achieves 5% energy model calibration with Integrated Environmental Solutions

Heriot-Watt University, Dubai Campus calibrates energy model within 5% with Integrated Environmental Solutions

Heriot-Watt University, Dubai Campus undertook a project to analyze its energy efficiency and identify potential savings. The university used the IES Virtual Environment (IESVE) from Integrated Environmental Solutions to model its energy use intensity and perform a performance gap analysis against actual building data.

Integrated Environmental Solutions' IESVE was used to create a model that was calibrated within a 5% variance of the building's actual energy data. The solution included using the software's LEED Credit Analysis tool to determine potential operational savings and retrofits. This study created significant awareness on campus and contributed to the university's recognition, including a five-star KHDA rating and being named Best University in the Middle East by Forbes.
