At the join of model and measurement
Fifteen years in building energy modeling and BIM/openBIM: IFC, IDS, and the integration work that connects a building model to its carbon, energy, and cost consequences.
The niche is deliberate: most LCA practices treat the model as an inconvenience; most BIM practices stop before the carbon math. I sit exactly at the join.
Right now I'm rebuilding my toolchain on open software (IFC, Blender Bonsai, EnergyPlus) and writing about it as it develops.
Based in Ontario, Canada. Working across Canadian and European projects and standards.
Three rules I don't break
Audit before analysis
No analysis runs on an unaudited model. What a model can and can't support gets measured, not assumed, and uncertainty language scales with model quality.
No naked numbers
Every result carries its assumptions: boundary, study period, functional unit, data sources. A number without its boundary is meaningless.
Reviewed ≠ calibrated
Language never exceeds its verified basis. Design models are "reviewed"; only measured-data comparison meeting acceptance criteria earns "calibrated".
