SUSTAINABILITY

BREEAM AP and LEED Green Associate with experience supporting certification, building performance and sustainable construction projects. 

I also share this vision through postgraduate teaching at Politecnico di Milano.   

Building Sustainability

 As a LEED and BREEAM certified consultant, I integrate sustainability into every stage of design and construction.    

Energy Modelling

I integrate energy audits, performance assessment and simulation with BIM and CAPEX planning to guide practical design, retrofit, operational efficiency and decarbonisation strategies for buildings. 

LCA

Using tools like BIM and LCA, I help reduce environmental impact while enhancing performance.

PROTOCOLS

BREEAM Protocol

Within the BREEAM certification standard, I have contributed to the certification of new and existing buildings, working in all areas of the certification process, from the review of buildings to the tasks as Assessor, which has allowed me to obtain the BREEAM AP certification and to consider myself as an expert in the certification, so my short-medium term goals are to obtain the BREEAM NC Assessor and BREEAM In-Use Assessor certifications.

BREEAM Projects

ROLE

BREEAM AP / Portfolio coordination


SCALE

43 assets / 572,490 m² 


PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

reporting preparation -60%

delayed evidence requests -98%

LEED Protocol

I support projects through strategies that improve energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality and responsible use of materials. I help clients and design teams achieve credits aligned with their project goals, from initial planning to final certification.



ENVISION Protocol

My sustainability experience also extends to infrastructure through the Envision Sustainable Infrastructure Framework, including work on a railway-station project. I support the coordination of sustainability requirements and multidisciplinary inputs throughout project delivery, connecting environmental performance with resilience, resource efficiency and stakeholder objectives. This experience complements my building-focused work by extending sustainability management to complex infrastructure projects.

WELL Protocol

I have supported WELL certification activities across two assets totalling more than 23,000 m², coordinating certification requirements, project evidence and multidisciplinary teams. My experience has included acoustic and lighting testing as part of the verification process, with a focus on translating health, comfort and indoor environmental quality requirements into practical actions during design and construction. 

SOFTWARE

IESVE

IESVE

IESVE

I am trained in IESVE and use it within building-performance and sustainability workflows to support the analysis of energy demand, thermal conditions, HVAC strategies and design scenarios. I connect simulation outputs with BIM information, sustainability requirements and decarbonisation studies, helping transform technical analysis into actionable recommendations for design teams, clients and asset-level decision-making. 

ICD

IESVE

IESVE

IES iCD forms part of my technical toolkit for early-stage and scalable energy and carbon assessment. Its scenario-based approach supports the evaluation of individual buildings, portfolios, campuses and masterplans, allowing different development, retrofit and decarbonisation strategies to be compared before progressing to more detailed analysis. This is particularly relevant when identifying performance priorities across multiple assets or large-scale developments. 

IES TaP

TERMOLOG

TERMOLOG

My BREEAM work is based on structured portfolio governance, evidence management, responsibility tracking and quality control. IES TaP supports this approach by centralising BREEAM credits, evidence, responsibilities, deadlines and certification progress across the project team. These digital workflows help improve traceability, audit readiness and visibility of certification status while supporting coordinated delivery from assessment through QA and certification. 

TERMOLOG

TERMOLOG

TERMOLOG

I use TERMOLOG as part of building energy and efficiency workflows to assess thermal performance, energy demand, envelope behaviour and regulatory scenarios. Combined with BIM information, energy audits and sustainability analysis, it supports the comparison of improvement measures and helps inform design, retrofit and decarbonisation decisions focused on reducing operational energy demand and improving building performance. 

LCA

I use Life Cycle Assessment to quantify the environmental impacts of buildings and support lower-carbon design and procurement decisions. Using One Click LCA and life-cycle methodologies aligned with EN 15978, I assess embodied-carbon impacts across materials and construction stages, operational impacts where relevant, and end-of-life scenarios. The objective is not only to calculate carbon, but to compare alternatives and translate LCA results into practical material, design and decarbonisation strategies. 

OneClick

Tool to quantify the environmental footprint of materials and systems. This includes the calculation of embodied carbon (phases A1-A3, A4, A5), operational emissions (B6) and end-of-life scenarios (modules C and D), according to EN 15978 and ISO 14040.
