SINERGI has vast experience in guiding clients through the process of achieving compliance with leading and cutting edge sustainability certifications and standards across the world.
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. Available for virtually all building, community and home project types, LEED provides a framework to create healthy, highly efficient and cost-saving green buildings. LEED certification is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement.
Administered by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), SITES offers a comprehensive rating system designed to distinguish sustainable landscapes, measure their performance and elevate their value. SITES certification is for development projects located on sites with or without buildings—ranging from national parks to corporate campuses, streetscapes to homes, and more.
An innovation of IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, EDGE is a fast and easy to use mass market transformation tool. It empowers developers and builders to quickly identify the most cost effective ways to reduce energy use, water use and embodied energy in materials. The strategies integrated into the project design are verified by an EDGE Auditor and certified by GBCI.
WELL is the leading tool for advancing health and wellbeing in buildings globally. WELL was developed by integrating scientific and medical research and literature on environmental health, behavioral factors, health outcomes and demographic risk factors that affect health with leading practices in building design, construction and management.
BREEAM is the world’s leading science-based suite of validation and certification systems for sustainable built environment. Since 1990, BREEAM’s third-party certified standards have helped improve asset performance at every stage, from design through construction, to use and refurbishment. Millions of buildings across the world are registered to work towards BREEAM’s holistic approach to achieve ESG, health, and net zero goals. It is owned by BRE – a profit-for-purpose organisation with over 100 years of building science and research background.
As a Member of the Green Building Council Italia and through direct experience in various projects undergoing certification, SINERGI has developed specific competencies in relation to the energy-environmental protocols of the GBC Italia family.
The GBC Home® protocol was developed considering the specific housing needs and variations in the construction models typical of Italy, drawing inspiration from the LEED protocol. The protocol is designed for residential buildings of various sizes, including condominiums up to 10 floors and structures with a small part designated for non-residential functions, such as offices or commercial activities. It is also applicable to farm stays and accommodation facilities up to 50 beds.
GBC Quartieri® is designed for projects in areas undergoing redevelopment or new expansions, emphasizing the environmental sustainability of the territory, infrastructure, facilities, and sustainable buildings. It applies to both new construction and urban redevelopment projects, with no specific limits on use or size of the area.
GBC Historic Building is a protocol for the voluntary certification of the sustainability level of interventions on historical buildings with various uses, combining LEED® sustainability criteria with restoration expertise. It concerns historic buildings constructed before 1945, with at least 50% of the existing technical elements.
GBC Condomini focuses on the sustainable redevelopment of residential buildings composed of multiple real estate units, promoting overall building performance improvements. The protocol can also be applied to buildings constructed before 1945, including a preliminary investigation phase and interventions on the structure, envelope, and systems."
Commissioning, as defined by ASHRAE, is a quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying, and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and assemblies meets defined objectives and criteria.
Commissioning is the only common thread that runs from the design phase and continues all the way to the occupancy and operation of the building.
Commissioning ensures building quality and helps achieve higher energy efficiency, environmental health, and occupant safety and improves indoor air quality by making sure the building components are working correctly and that the plans are implemented with the greatest efficiency.
SINERGI takes a comprehensive look at the commissioned building systems and their interaction and the impact of these interactions on building performance and total cost of ownership.
Total Building Commissioning is a process that applies the general commissioning activities and procedures on all building systems and assemblies, such as:
HVAC&R systems
Exterior Enclosure
Electrical Lighting
Plumbing Controls
SINERGI offers an array of energy management services for new projects as well as existing buildings.
For new construction projects SINERGI offers whole building energy modeling to simulate the expected energy usage of a facility.
This helps the design team gain a better understanding of the building’s energy performance to gauge which design solutions are cost effective and provide the best energy conservation options for the facility.
As this is typically a complex process and a very critical component of a green building certification, SINERGI manages the communication with engineers, architects and other stakeholders to accurately retrieve energy modeling input and use preliminary output to positively influence the energy efficiency of the building during the design process.
This service is aimed at identifying opportunities for energy savings, operational improvements and indoor air quality improvements for existing facilities.
Through observations from site visits SINERGI will provide a comprehensive checklist in which these opportunities are listed.
With the help of the facility manager(s) a cost/benefit analysis will be performed to identify maximum ROI and prioritization of each proposed improvement.
The results may also be used to identify opportunities for sustainability certification of the facility.
SINERGI caters to building owners, architects and builders and offers a variety of services that target the building exterior enclosure.
Using our expertise in Building Sciences, we provide the ultimate service to assure the Building Owner will receive a functioning and high-performing building enclosureBuilding Enclosure Commissioning.
The purpose of the Building Enclosure Commissioning is to provide a process for independent, third-party verification that the installed performance of the building exterior enclosure meets or exceeds the minimum performance requirements set forth by the contract documents.
The commissioning process targets the exterior enclosure of the building, including below-grade construction, above-grade construction and roofing construction that protect climate-controlled interior spaces from unconditioned spaces and the exterior environment.
The following are among the services/processes included in the commissioning process:
Conduct Owner’s Project Requirement Workshop to establish OPR’s
Provide project-specific construction checklists and commissioning test procedures
Design review
Review of product submittals
Review of operating and maintenance data
Prepare and maintain Issues Log
Witness systems and assemblies installation
Compile test data, inspection reports, and certificates
Produce commissioning process report
Building enclosure failures are a leading cause of building construction issues and represent the majority of all insurance claims related to building defects. The best opportunity to eliminate potential building enclosure issues is during the design process.
SINERGI uses its expertise in Building Sciences to assist the Design Team during this critical phase by providing consulting services and conducting design reviews, with particular attention to enclosure details.
Design input and recommendations pertaining to the building enclosure design
Input related to performance criteria and related testing for building enclosure materials and systems
Multiple drawing and specification reviews throughout the design phase
Consultation related to air barrier assembly, detailing, and material specifications
Redlining design documents
We understand that designs are as good as its weakest links. The weakest links of any building enclosure are the connections between systems/materials.
Our services during the construction phase focus on making sure the construction team, including the various trades, fully understand their responsibilities and most importantly understand how their systems interact with one another.
