In order to be responsive to the national and global imperative for increased energy efficiency and reduced energy use, it is essential to consider solutions from a systems perspective. No single component acts without affecting other components and overall building performance objectives. Lighting systems, to name an example, interact with heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems; depending on the season, the interaction is either beneficial or detrimental with respect to overall energy use. TIAX offers technology and industry expertise in all building systems to assess, evaluate, model, and design integrated building systems. Specific components for which services are performed include power generation, indoor environmental control, insulation, refrigeration, water heating, and lighting. TIAX expertise extends from specific equipment, materials, and control systems to next-generation technologies that will meet emerging demands.
