Score a six-story walk-up tenement against the LBC Energy Petal, Willis Avenue block

A six-story walk-up tenement on Willis Avenue block has never had a walk-through against the Energy Petal — nobody knows which draft, which uninsulated pipe, or which panel is the block's cheapest first fix. One walk-through with the owner turns "the place is drafty" into a ranked list that routes straight into the jobs below. Standard: Living Building Challenge 4.0 — Energy Petal (net-positive energy); SDG 7. Proof: photo-documented checklist + ranked job list + owner acknowledgment + GPS Method (Living Building Challenge 4.0 — Energy Petal (net-positive energy); SDG 7.): 1. Walk the building with the owner/occupant and photograph the envelope condition (window sashes, door thresholds, foundation gaps) and heating-equipment ages. 2. Photograph the electrical panel label and breaker schedule from outside the equipment only — do not open the panel. 3. Score envelope, heating, and water-heating against the LBC Energy Petal checklist. 4. Rank the shortfalls into a sequenced job list naming the matching follow-on (seal drafts, wrap the water heater, repoint the envelope, fix the gutters). Done when: photo-documented checklist + ranked job list + owner acknowledgment + GPS

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: ASHRAE Level 1 energy audit

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• tape measure
• light meter (lighting scope)
• clamp thermometer (refrigeration scope)
• 12-month utility bills
• camera
• ladder + spotter (high fixtures)

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the address; arrange a staff escort for mechanical/back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph HVAC, lighting, envelope, and any in-scope systems.
3. 3. Inventory systems: HVAC type + age; lighting fixture count/type/wattage; refrigeration units; envelope condition.
4. 4. Summarize 12 months of utility use (kWh / therms) from the bills.
5. 5. Take the in-scope measurements (light levels, unit temperatures, seal condition).
6. 6. Rank no-cost/low-cost measures, then capital measures, with rough savings logic.
7. 7. Enter inventory, measurements, utility summary, photos, and the ranked measure list; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Knob-and-tube, ungrounded or overheated wiring, scorched outlets, or a hot electrical panel -> STOP: do not operate the circuit; route to a licensed electrician and restrict use (NEC / fire hazard).
• Gas odor, or a combustion appliance with absent/blocked venting (backdrafting / CO risk) -> STOP: evacuate, ventilate, call the gas utility. The agent escalates, never relights or adjusts gas.
• Any live-electrical/gas hazard -> document, do not touch, flag for a licensed pro.
• Refrigeration unit out of food-safe range -> flag as both energy and food-safety risk.
• Suspected asbestos/lead in materials -> flag and stop.

What counts as done

• System inventory complete for the in-scope equipment
• 12-month utility use summary recorded
• In-scope measurements recorded with units
• Ranked no-cost/low-cost + capital measure list produced

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
