Revision history  [back]

I don't know of an official list from a building performance organization, but below are some items I would include. I know this isn't exactly what you were looking for, but hopefully it helps a little:

  • sustainability goals (net-zero, carbon neutral, % savings over local code, % savings over 90.1)
  • certification goals (LEED, GreenGlobes, GreenPoint Rated (in CA), etc)
  • building type & anticipated occupancies (i.e. does it have a kitchen?)
  • project scope (i.e. is it core & shell?)
  • square footage
  • number of issued reports
  • number of major model changes (i.e. building envelope or floor plan layouts)
  • scope of energy modeling (is it just for code compliance? are you giving design feedback?)
  • if you are giving design feedback, you should consider if you are...
    • testing a variety of HVAC systems
    • optimizing shading strategies or envelope design
    • performing any other kind of analysis, such as thermal comfort, daylighting, or natural ventilation

There are a lot of things to consider and it varies significantly from project to project, of course, but I think this is a starting point. I'm sure there are items I have missed.
