Most energy modeling courses teach tools. MaedX teaches workflows.
Define the right question
Start with a clear performance goal.
Set the right assumptions
Use data and context to model well.
Build a reliable model
Geometry, systems and loads that hold up.
Compare scenarios
Evaluate options with confidence.
Interpret results
Turn outputs into actionable insights.
Link results to decisions
Connect performance to real-world impact.
