What is Building Regeneration?
It is the fusing of cutting edge technologies with existing commercial
buildings to improve energy performance, the work environment, building
function, and company image.

How does Building Regeneration Work?
We discuss your goals for making energy efficient and functional
improvements to your facility. We perform a complete assessment of your
facility's condition and energy performance. We provide you with
recommended improvement options along with projected costs. There is
no high pressure sale to steer you to any particular products because we
provide you with a non-biased professional opinion. You decide which
improvements to implement. We then provide you with bidding documents
and services to secure competitive bids. We administer the contract for
construction.

What does the assessment involve?

Architectural:
•Modeling of existing building structure to utilize parametric analysis
through Revit software
•Inventory of existing building envelope
---Window area & type of glass
---Type of insulation & R values
---U values of exterior wall types
---Roof insulation and U values
---Roof leaks
---Building infiltration
•Evaluate potential for day-lighting
•Evaluate potential floor plan inefficiencies or utilization that may waste
human energy
•Provide accessibility review and recommendations
•Provide cost estimates of proposed work
