Ming-EA™

Ming has introduced a major advancement in the speed, ease of use, and function of building energy analysis software. This allows an easy iterative interaction, an exploration of “what if” scenarios, and its structure is consistent with the three-point scientific method employed by Ming to investigative and solve difficult building problems with high accuracy (typically 5% or better) and with confidence in its predictions.
