JLG Architects
JLG deployed Sketchup's performance design tool,
Sefaira, within 3 months, most projects had an
energy model with performance targets established.
Over 100 energy models were prepared in
approximately 90 days, they now have
approximately 200 energy models.
Energy modeling specialists charge between $7,500
to $40,000 to complete an energy model. It takes
JLG 1-4 hours to set up a model and to establish an
EUI target. Compared to the old style of energy
modeling, they are saving 100-200 hours over
several weeks.
Using Sketchup and Sefaira helped JLG achieve a
projected operating cost savings of $232,000
positive revenue after 30 years for their client.
Learn how they achieve performance goals, save time, make capital and operating cost
savings, and deliver award-winning architecture using Sketchup and Sefaira.

Sefaira's performance simulation
gives useful information that
designers can leverage when
determining building form.
SketchUp and Sefaira are both
fast, inexpensive, and allow us to
push the envelope.
