Performance Simulation
These may consist of climate analyses (sun path, shadows and shading), illuminance (daylight factor, glare and visual comfort), thermal transmission
and energy consumption studies, undertaken for
an entire building or for a component, either at the schematic design stage or during detail design.

Through these types of assessments we help project teams evaluate the appropriateness of a particular design solution.

Materials and Technologies
Project teams are often unfamiliar with the
specifics of environmental impact. There are many environmentally friendly products and systems
that are not always readily available or apparent.
At CPGreen we seek out opportunities for project-specific application. This begins with a review
of what is needed followed by a global search
for alternatives. Where lifecycle analysis of an
option supports its use, we follow-up with detailed descriptions, standards and specifications for use
in contract documents.

Benchmarking and Lifecycle Costing
Greening relies on prior knowledge of how buildings should perform and what factors, in a given context, are critical for achieving a target. This may entail a pre-design review of similar buildings or it could involve a review of post-occupancy facility management. CPGreen helps teams decide on benchmarks and targets appropriate to their project. A building's performance is mapped out over the duration of its life, inputs and outputs of resource and waste calibrated for long-term goals.
