Field notes
LEED automation, sources, and review logic.
Notes on LEED v5, energy modeling, embodied-carbon data, and the practical details that matter when a consultant has to defend a credit decision.
The Benchmark Trap: How Validation Discipline Reshapes a CFD Solver
A CFD solver passes more tests, but pretty contour matches do not equal validated physics. How VERTIQ's indoor airflow engine separates promoted gates from diagnostic-only references, and why that boundary is the entire point.
Read moreWhy Honest CFD Saves LEED Projects More Than Fancy CFD
LEED projects do not lose time to CFD itself. They lose time to CFD claims that fall apart in review. How VERTIQ's tight CFD scope and promoted-versus-diagnostic boundary protects consultants from fake precision.
