When this is useful
- You need to compare upgrade paths before committing budget.
- Assumptions need to be visible before the design or retrofit path is locked.
- Energy, solar, or GHG decisions need a scenario-based view.
Modelling
Energy Modelling and Upgrade Pathways
Parametric pathway comparisons that prioritize upgrades for comfort, cost control, and performance goals.
