What We Do

LEED-Related Services

LEED Certification, Design Facilitation, and Project Management

Sustainable Design and LEED Certification don’t have to be expensive. Whether you’re looking to achieve LEED Certification as cost effectively as possible or wanting to minimize your project’s carbon footprint, we can help.

• LEED-NC (LEED Certification for New Construction Projects)
• LEED-CS (LEED Certification for Core and Shell Projects)

Commissioning Assistance and Review

We check to see that the architectural, electrical, and mechanical plans and specifications meet the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) and the Design Team’s Basis of Design (BOD) needs.

LEED Energy Analysis

Please see Whole Building Energy Analysis below.

High Performance Building Analysis

Whole Building Energy Analysis

Building Synergies offers a wide variety of energy modeling and building simulation services – from project planning through design development and construction, including EPAct 2005, ASHRAE 90.1, and LEED™ compliant simulation and analysis.

Integrated Daylighting and Lighting Control Modeling

Integrated modeling gives the added advantage over common daylight modeling of showing how a daylighting system will complement your project’s systems and affect your annual utility costs.

Carbon Footprint Assessment

Sure, your design is energy efficient, it’s even LEED Certified, but what is its environmental impact… its carbon footprint? We help our customers to make informed choices when deciding what will be carbon impact of their projects.

Integrated Solar Energy Systems Simulation

We can take your PV design and show you how it will integrate with your project’s other systems – showing you how your PV solar array will affect your projects’ annual energy cost and reduce its peak demand.

Best Building Practices Design and Decision Making

True Cost Assessment

We offer Life-Cycle Costing Analysis but with a twist.  We offer the added advantage of using whole building energy analysis along with Net Preset Value (NPV) financial modeling to put dollar figures on your building practices and decision-making choices.  What this means is that you can use our analysis to see how your various design choices and building practices affect your bottom line.

Existing Buildings Services

We offer a number of services for existing buildings, including LEED Certification for renovation projects (LEED for New Construction, and LEED for Core and Shell), energy analysis, lighting and daylighting analysis, feasibility studies, and energy analysis combined with a financial feasibility analysis
