Your guide for every stage of building performance.
From early design decisions to post-occupancy verification, we bring building science expertise to every phase. If the challenge relates to building performance, we have a way to address it.
Advanced Energy Analytics
Dynamic simulations/analyses that inform design-decisions, verify compliance, and unlock operational savings.
Early-stage simulations evaluating massing, orientation, and system options before design is locked, maximizing impact at minimum cost.
Advanced simulations across hundreds of design variables to identify the optimal combinations that meet project goals.
Whole‑building energy modeling using dynamic simulation software to provide design assistance for complex architectural and MEP systems, and to verify compliance with regulatory codes and incentive programs.
Thermal comfort modeling to evaluate occupant experience and inform HVAC design and envelope decisions.
Sun path and shading studies that quantify solar gain, inform PV placement, and evaluate neighboring building impacts.
Climate-based daylight modeling to optimize daylight quality while controlling glare.
Life cycle cost analysis helping owners and capital planners select systems with the best total cost of ownership.
ASHRAE 90.1, IECC, MA Stretch Code compliance modeling and documentation for permits and utility rebate submissions.
Building Science Consulting
Advanced heat and moisture analysis to design durable, high-performance envelopes that last.
2D thermal bridging analysis of envelope details including windows, parapets, and slab edges, to identify and reduce thermal bridges.
Dynamic moisture modeling of wall, roof, and floor assemblies to identify condensation risks and ensure long-term durability.
Measurement and verification confirming implemented strategies deliver promised savings, plus energy audits from walk-through to ASHRAE Level I, II, III.
Decarbonization & Certifications
Practical roadmaps to net zero and the certifications that prove you got there.
Campus and building-level carbon reduction roadmaps covering HVAC electrification, envelope upgrades, renewable energy, and net zero pathways.
Strategic credit selection, energy modeling, documentation, and submittal support for LEED BD+C, ID+C, O+M, and EBOM.
Passive House modeling and certification consulting including envelope optimization, mechanical system selection, and PHIUS+ documentation.
Integrated design consulting and documentation aligning load reduction, efficient systems, and on-site generation.
Healthy materials evaluation, resiliency planning for climate events, and circularity strategies across design and operations.
