When this is useful
- You need to compare upgrade paths before committing budget.
- Assumptions need to be visible before the design or retrofit path is locked.
- Energy, solar, or GHG decisions need a scenario-based view.

The quote request can start with the service selected. Files are still optional at intake.
What you receive
- A comparison of relevant scenarios with assumptions stated clearly.
- Notes on the inputs that most affect the result.
- A practical next step for design, procurement, or documentation.
GHG analysis compares options using greenhouse-gas emissions as a defined decision lens. It is useful when an energy result alone does not explain the effect of fuel choice, system efficiency, or operating assumptions.
The comparison starts with a stated baseline and a bounded set of alternatives. Keeping the same scope and assumptions across scenarios makes the differences easier to understand and challenge.
Good fit when
- emissions are part of the brief
- fuel or system choices need a common comparison basis
- an energy plan also needs an emissions view
- you are building a planning or internal reporting package
What the scope can include
- definition of the baseline, boundary, and comparison period
- review of the available energy and system inputs
- scenario-based emissions calculations
- a record of factors, assumptions, and material information gaps
- a concise comparison for the wider decision package
What we provide
- results shown on a consistent basis
- assumptions and data sources stated clearly
- notes on why an energy result and an emissions result may rank options differently
- a summary of which uncertain inputs could change the conclusion
What to prepare
Share the building or project boundary, purpose of the analysis, available energy records, current systems and fuels, proposed alternatives, relevant operating information, and the reporting period or milestone. Identify any required methodology before the scope is confirmed.
Boundaries
Planning analysis is not a verified organizational inventory, assurance engagement, product declaration, or guarantee of future emissions. Results depend on the boundary, input quality, selected factors, operation, and future changes. Any formal reporting or assurance requirement must be identified and scoped separately.
Next step
Request a quote with the exact options to compare and the decision they need to support. If the baseline is unclear, the first task can be a short data-gap review before a full comparison.
