Readiness Scoring and Sustainability Reports

Joel Pennington is back with Marty Rozmanith to show a new tool for scoring project data. It focuses on readiness – how complete is a project’s data for LEED certification, carbon scoring, and energy modeling. You’ll see examples, and then you are invited to load in one of your projects to see how it measures up.

To get a sustainability readiness score, upload your project on cloud.vimaec.com.
