Design support that drives better outcomes

From early design through construction, we help teams make informed decisions that improve performance, reduce compliance risk, and avoid costly redesigns.

Make smarter decisions before they become expensive problems

Energy performance is determined long before testing begins. Our team works alongside developers, architects, and engineers to evaluate design choices early; so you can balance efficiency, constructability, and cost without slowing down your project.

We translate complex energy requirements into clear, actionable guidance your team can use.

What RunBrook supports

  • Detailed energy models to evaluate performance, compare design options, and ensure compliance with program and code requirements.

  • Right-sized, code-compliant HVAC design aligned with your project goals, climate, and building type.

  • We help refine envelope, mechanical systems, and overall design to improve efficiency without unnecessary cost increases.

  • We identify the most efficient path to meet IECC, ENERGY STAR, LEED, and other program requirements.

Best applied early—valuable throughout

While we can step in at any phase, our greatest impact comes when we’re involved early in the design process.

Concept & schematic design: Evaluate major system decisions

01

Design development: Refine performance and compliance strategy

02

Construction documents: Finalize specifications and modeling

03

Pre-construction: Align design intent with field execution

04

  • Clear, actionable recommendations (not just reports)

  • Fast turnaround to keep projects moving

  • Coordination across design and field teams

  • Continuity through testing and verification

We don’t operate in a silo. Our team collaborates directly with your designers, engineers, and construction teams to ensure recommendations are practical, buildable, and aligned with project goals.

From design to verification

Because we also handle field testing and verification, our design support is grounded in real-world performance. What we recommend in design is based on what actually works in the field.

This continuity helps ensure your project performs as expected—without last-minute surprises.
