You will get a Professional LEED v4.1 Daylight Simulation for LEED Certification
Top Rated
Project details
"I provide professional LEED v4.1 EQ Daylight simulations using DesignBuilder and EnergyPlus — delivering fully compliant reports accepted by GBCI reviewers.
My service covers both Option 1 (Spatial Daylight Autonomy – sDA & ASE) and Option 2 (Illuminance calculations), with detailed daylight maps, compliance tables, and ready-to-upload LEED documentation.
What sets my work apart:
✔ MSc in Healthy & Sustainable Buildings
✔ 6+ years in building energy & daylight simulation
✔ Delivered LEED projects across hospitality, commercial & residential sectors
✔ Reports formatted to GBCI submittal standards — no back-and-forth with reviewers
✔ Design optimization included — not just pass/fail results
Whether you're targeting LEED certification or need a peer-reviewed daylight analysis, I ensure your project meets compliance from the first submission."

LEED Daylight simulation - 16 floors of hotel
Excellent value: Elya probably spent more time that we agreed to, but there was no request for. a change order as he honored his fixed price. Skills & experience: Elya fully understood my detailed scope and the LEED Rating System. He also provided advice from his experience on how to improve building design to achieve more daylighting...precisely the sustainable outcome the Owner would be looking for. Timely deliverables: Elya kept me informed about when he would be able to deliver work products. Repeat business: I have already hired Elya for another project.

Steps for completing your project
After purchasing the project, send requirements so Elya can start the project.
Delivery time starts when Elya receives requirements from you.
Elya works on your project following the steps below.
Revisions may occur after the delivery date.
Review Drawings & Define Scope
Reviewing architectural drawings, confirming building orientation, glazing specs, and LEED target option (1, 2, or both). Any missing info will be requested before modeling starts.
3D Model Setup
Building the simulation model in DesignBuilder based on the approved drawings — including zones, windows, shading devices, and material properties.
