Building the Infrastructure for Better Compliance Workflows

ASHRAE 90.1 compliance is complex, time-consuming, and inconsistent across firms and projects. The workflows haven't kept up with the tools that now exist to improve them.

Engineers and architects spend hours per project on manual standard lookups, data re-entry, and compliance documentation — work that's structurally repetitive but carries real professional liability. And when a reviewer questions a value, tracing it back takes even more time.

We're building the infrastructure to change that. Not by replacing professional judgment — but by making the structured, repetitive parts faster and the auditable parts more traceable.

Enterprise-grade software for professional workflows has to be auditable. AI is useful — but only in the right role. We are careful about what we ask it to do.

That means deterministic engines for calculations. Structured citation systems for standards. AI scoped to explanation and summarization — never to code determination. And output design that supports professional review, not replaces it.

Phase 0 is a foundation. The long-term vision is a platform that connects the full compliance workflow — from model to submittal — in a way that's traceable, consistent, and built for the professionals who stake their license on the work.
