Project Resource Modeling (PRM)

Ready

Project Resource Modeling is the most extensive and broad of the four most common forms of modeling. It assesses multiple resource issues that affect and are affected by the development of a project, including energy, water, material selection, and solid waste. It may also include transportation, primary growth issues, manufacturing, social and agricultural elements, embodied energy, carbon emissions, health, and other factors. This type of extensive study typically addresses the interrelationships among resources, their consumption, efficiencies, and conservation. PRM can assess existing site resources, as well as components that may be brought to the site. It is important to note, in the context of this guide, that energy is only one of the resources considered in this broader resource modeling process.
