Standards

Our platform automatically generates tailored technical reports using building energy modeling outputs (via EnergyPlus) and aligns them with key standards including ASHRAE, LEED, BOMA BEST, and others. Each report is dynamically compiled to ensure compliance, performance benchmarking, and actionable insights for retrofit planning, certification readiness, and long-term sustainability. By integrating simulation results with internationally recognized standards, our system produces reliable, audit-ready documentation to support efficient retrofit decision-making and regulatory compliance.

 

1.     ASHRAE

ASHRAE standards provide the foundation for energy modeling, HVAC design, indoor air quality, and envelope evaluation. Our platform automatically references and integrates relevant ASHRAE requirements when generating the following report elements:

  • ASHRAE 90.1 : Minimum energy performance for envelope, HVAC, lighting, etc.
  • ASHRAE 62.1 : Ventilation requirements to ensure indoor air quality
  • ASHRAE Handbook – Fundamentals : Applied for thermodynamics, psychrometrics, and heat transfer calculations.
  • ASHRAE Research Reports : Used for methodological referencing and emerging best practices.
  •  

Example usage :
An Energy Audit Report will benchmark HVAC system efficiency against ASHRAE 90.1, while Retrofit Design Reports may specify ventilation rates from ASHRAE 62.1.

2.     LEED

Our platform supports LEED-ready documentation by auto-generating content that maps simulation outputs to LEED credit requirements, particularly for:

  • Energy and Atmosphere (EA) : Energy modeling reports supporting credit EA Optimize Energy Performance
  • Water Efficiency (WE), Materials & Resources (MR), Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) : Baseline data and performance estimates
  • LEED Scorecard Integration : Summary tables auto-filled based on project simulation outcomes

 

Example usage:
Post-Retrofit Verification Reports generated by our system include LEED-aligned performance verification with modeled vs. actual energy savings comparison.


3.     BOMA TEST

For Canadian commercial buildings, our platform integrates BOMA BEST criteria into reports to support certification and operational benchmarking:

  • Automatically assesses and reports performance across energy, water, waste, emissions, and indoor environment
  • Aligns with BOMA requirements for data tracking, benchmarking, and environmental management

Example usage:
The Energy Audit Report and Building Envelope Condition Assessment Report align with BOMA BEST categories and include improvement recommendations based on automated diagnostics.

4.     Additional Reports and Standards

Beyond ASHRAE, LEED, and BOMA, our system supports reporting formats and methodologies drawn from other industry tools and standards, including:

Energy & Performance-Based Reports:

  • ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager (US)
  • NRCan Benchmarking Tools (Canada)
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
  • Retro-Commissioning & Operational Efficiency Reports

 

Sustainability & Impact Reports:

  • Embodied Carbon Assessments
  • Green Globes Compliance Reports
  • Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) integration

 

Specialized Technical Reports:

  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessments
  • Acoustic and Seismic Performance Reports
  • Resilience and Climate Adaptation Evaluations

 

Code and Regulatory Alignment:

  • National Building Code of Canada (NBC)
  • International Building Code (IBC, US)
  • Local Municipal Standards
