What is the Virtual Energy Analyzer?
The Virtual Energy Analyzer:
- Is a decision-support tool
- Gives access to archetypical facilities and individual measures to streamline pre-feasibility analysis or energy audits
- Provides a quick and easy way to understand energy use in a facility
CONTINUE
What is an archetypical facility?
An archetypical facility is an example of a specific type of facility.An archetypical individual measure is an example of a single energy project, such as putting dimmers on lights. Archetypical examples can include data for:
- Benchmarks
- Typical energy use and/or energy production
- Potential energy improvements
- Incremental costs
CONTINUE
Why use the Virtual Energy Analyzer?
Quick information: An easy, rapid way to begin understanding energy consumption and/or production, costs, emissions and financial returns for a facility New facility plan: Early indication of potential energy use, costs, emissions and financial viability in a new facility Existing facility upgrade: Point of departure for understanding current energy consumption and the savings potential

Click on Virtual Energy Analyzer.
Click to select the facility type.
You can select the facility type that you are interested in.
Click to close the drop-down menu.
RETScreen has a portfolio of hundreds of different archetypical facilities for:
- Real property
- Power generation plants
- Combined heating, cooling, power systems
- Individual measures
- and more.
The archetypical examples were developed by RETScreen, with experts from around the world.
Click on the 5 stars.
You are interested in a laboratory facility.
This facility has a 5-star rating.
A 1-5 star rating shows the spectrum of information that is available for the archetypical facility.
CONTINUE
You can place the archetypical facility at the location that you are interested in.
We will locate this facility in Varennes, Quebec, by typing in Varennes QC.
Click on the search field.
Here, we have pre-typed Varennes QC in the search field.
Click on Varennes, QC to continue.
Click on the search button to continue.
Click on Calculate.
Click on Facility.
Here are the climate and location data for the selected location.
The facility information has been input.
Click on "Analysis type".
Click to scroll down.
The Virtual Energy Analyzer prepares a benchmark analysis for the archetypical facility.
It indicates the North American benchmark for the typical facility, and calculates a ‘base case’ and ‘proposed case’ for energy performance.
This establishes a target that could reasonably be achieved.
The archetypical facility is 2250 square meters.
Click on "Analysis type".
CONTINUE
Click on Energy.
Click on "Analysis type".
The Virtual Energy Analyzer estimates the amount of fuel that can be saved if the target is reached.
The energy model estimates where fuel can be saved in this typical facility, as well as potential costs and savings.
Click to scroll down.
These are promising projects for achieving the target reduction in this typical facility.
CONTINUE
Keep in mind...
- The Virtual Energy Analyzer is based on a "typical" facility for North America.
- A typical facility may vary in the extent to which it matches an actual facility.
- Further analysis (benchmarking, feasibility, performance) is needed before deciding a course of action.
