Quality Assurance
In a specialized field like building performance analysis, trust is a derivative of proven competence. Our engineering team bridges the gap between abstract thermodynamics and prescriptive certification requirements.
Role of LEED AP in BEM
A LEED AP credential is more than a badge; it signifies a deep understanding of the integrated design process. Our experts don't just run software; they interpret complex Credit Interpretations and Technical Addenda.
- Navigating EA Prerequisite 2: Minimum Energy Performance
- Optimizing EA Credit: Optimize Energy Performance
- Appendix G System Mapping & Baseline Definition
Mastery of ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G
Our core expertise lies in the rigorous application of the "Performance Rating Method". We handle the complex rule sets for Baseline Building creation, including:
Baseline System Mapping
Correctly selecting System 1-10 based on building type, area, and fuel source.
Stable Baseline Evolution
Calculations using Performance Cost Index (PCI) for ASHRAE 90.1-2016/2022 compliance.
Rigorous Quality Control
We integrate QC checks directly into our workflow using structures similar to DOE Compliance Forms. Our simulations are not black boxes; they are verifiable engineering calculations.
Input Verification
Peer review of U-values, SHGC, LPD, and HVAC efficiencies against mechanical drawings.
Sanity Checks
Verifying end-use distributions and comparing EUI against industry benchmarks.
Unmet Load Hours
Strict protocol ensuring UMLH < 300 hours, guaranteeing thermal comfort alongside savings.
