Case Study: IBC Engineering Services achieves LEED Gold energy modelling success with IES Virtual Environment

IBC Engineering Services achieves 43%+ energy savings with Integrated Environmental Solutions

IBC Engineering Services, Inc., a full-service MEP engineering firm, faced the challenge of providing energy modeling for the sustainable renovation of a historic building, St. Anthony’s Apartments, to achieve LEED Gold certification, a prerequisite for public funding. They utilized the IES Virtual Environment (IESVE) from Integrated Environmental Solutions to conduct this sophisticated analysis and navigate the complex LEED submission process.

Integrated Environmental Solutions' solution provided comprehensive energy modeling that projected total energy savings of more than 43%, including a 73% reduction in on-site fossil fuel use. The IESVE software, with tools like the VE Navigator for ASHRAE 90.1, streamlined the analysis process and offered invaluable technical support, enabling IBC to design a high-performance building that maximized efficiency and successfully achieved LEED Gold certification.
