The purpose of an energy analysis is to perform an approximate calculation of the total energy consumption of the buildings over a specific period of time in order to adopt efficient alternatives from the point of view of energy consumption.

An energy analysis takes into account an extensive variety of design-related factors, including the following:

· Location of the building.
· Orientation ad interior layout.
· Architectural characteristics.
· Types of materials used for walls, interiors, floors and ceiling.
· Energy exchange through ventilation.
· Heat generated by the occupants of a building.
· Density of points of light.
· Hot water requirements.
· Use of renewable energies.
· CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere.
