At the join of model and measurement
Over 15 years in building performance. I build the simplified models the analysis runs on: geometry to scale, envelope assemblies, equipment taken from the schedules, and the assumptions written down beside them.
Most of that work is quality control. A result is only as good as what went into the model, and an embodied carbon number is no different: the quantities come from the model, so the model is where the errors are. Most LCA practices treat the model as an inconvenience; most BIM practices stop before the carbon math. I sit at the join.
I work in the open standards, so the method travels to any authoring tool and any country. The toolchain is open software, and nothing untested reaches your model.
Based in Ontario, Canada. Working across Canadian and European projects and standards.
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.
Assumptions travel with the number
Every result carries its assumptions: boundary, functional unit, data sources, and every substitution made along the way. A number without its boundary is meaningless.
Screening ≠ verified
Language never exceeds its verified basis. A number the model can only support approximately is labelled screening-level, on every page it appears, and stays labelled until the model can carry more.
