✓ indicates engineering, modelling, envelope-testing or documentation support that can be provided for the listed requirement. Credit / point labels show the maximum available within the stated issue where a points-based system is used; actual availability depends on project type, applicability and selected pathway. LEED values are shown for New Construction within LEED v5 BD+C; WELL point values are shown for WELL Certification (WELL Core can differ). EDGE is performance-based and uses efficiency measures rather than credit points; EU Taxonomy uses technical screening criteria and DNSH requirements rather than a points system. LCA / embodied-carbon services are intentionally excluded. Final certification responsibility, independent verification, specialist qualifications and any required site testing remain subject to the selected scheme and project scope.
A compact workflow designed for external collaboration: clear inputs, traceable assumptions and outputs that are straightforward to review.
Review drawings, BIM exports, specifications and assessor requirements. Define model boundaries, scenarios and deliverables.
