He holds degrees in electrical engineering and industrial engineering from Stanford University.

He is also a consulting faculty member at Stanford University where he teaches a class on energy-efficient building systems. Kolderup started Kolderup Consulting in 2007. After three years as Associate Principal, sharing management of AEC’s San Francisco office, Mr. He became an owner in 1994 and served as vice president until the firm’s merger with Architectural Energy Corporation in 2004. Kolderup is based in San Francisco, California and has provided sustainability and energy consulting services since 1990, when he joined Eley Associates as an energy engineer. He is also a consulting faculty member at Stanford University teaching a class on energy efficient building design. His special interest is developing integrated design strategies for natural ventilation and daylighting. His experience covers envelope, lighting, daylighting, natural ventilation, and HVAC systems. He employs computer simulation tools and other analysis methods to assist building designers in planning, designing, and specifying high performance systems. He identifies and evaluates design alternatives to optimize the integrated performance of a building’s systems.

Kolderup provides technical consulting services, focusing on the sustainable, energy efficient design and construction of commercial and institutional buildings. Integrating Energy Analysis in the Design ProcessĬan Architects do their Own Energy Analysis and Modeling? (Concept Design Phase)Įffective Integration of Energy Modeling During the SD & DD PhaseĮrik Kolderup, PE, LEED AP, is Principal of Kolderup Consulting based in San Francisco, California.

Their guidance draws on best practice guidelines found in the new AIA guide Integrating Performance Simulation in the Design Process and ASHRAE Standard 209-2018 Energy Simulation Aided Design for Buildings Except Low Rise Residential Buildings.ĭon’t miss the other events in this series, held at the AIA San Francisco with accompanying simulcast webinar:ĭesigning for Performance: Who, What, When, Why… and How? They will also provide guidance on integrating energy analysis in early design, including discussion of analysis roles for both architects and specialists. In this presentation, Erik Kolderup and Dimitri Contoyannis, HVAC engineers and energy modelers, will discuss lessons learned from a recent US Department of Energy (US-DOE) funded survey of architects that looked at current energy modeling practices. However, early energy analysis is not yet standard practice in the design of nonresidential buildings. Quick and simple energy analysis during these phases can provide valuable information at little cost and at a time when design changes are much more easily accomplished. Important decisions made during pre-design and conceptual design can have a big impact on operational energy use in the finished building. *A Live Webinar is available for those unable to attend the event in person.
