intermediate work · 5600–5700 block of W Wilshire Blvd (public right-of-way + typical commercial conditions), Los Angeles, CA 90036

Score a commercial building on the 5665 W Wilshire block against the LBC Energy Petal

The mid-rise commercial buildings on this block run decades-old rooftop HVAC over sealed windows all day; nobody has a one-page picture of which systems to electrify first. The audit exists to feed the installs, not a shelf. Standard: Living Building Challenge 4.0 — Energy Petal (net-positive energy). Solar, heat pumps, storage, and EV readiness ARE Energy-petal work. SDG 7. Proof: photo-documented checklist + ranked retrofit list + manager acknowledgment + GPS Method (Living Building Challenge 4.0 — Energy Petal (net-positive energy). Solar, heat pumps, storage, and EV readiness ARE Energy-petal work. SDG 7.): 1. Walk the building with the manager and record HVAC nameplates/ages, envelope condition, roof area and shading, and electrical service labels (photograph labels only — never open equipment). 2. Score against the LBC Energy Petal checklist (envelope, electrification, generation, storage, EV readiness). 3. Rank shortfalls into a sequenced retrofit list naming the matching DOING job for each (RTU heat-pump swap, rooftop PV, storage, EV charging). 4. Deliver the scorecard to the manager and photograph the handoff. Done when: photo-documented checklist + ranked retrofit list + manager acknowledgment + GPS

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–150 minutes. Method of record: Living Building Challenge 4.0 Energy Petal — envelope and load reduction verified by measurement before and after, not by installed-product count

Bring

caulk gun + backer rod
weatherstripping sized to the gap
low-expansion foam
incense stick or smoke pencil
infrared thermometer if available
ladder
camera + phone with GPS

Steps

1. Photograph each target opening BEFORE, with GPS and timestamp.
2. Find the leaks: run a smoke pencil around each frame on a windy day or with the exhaust fan running; mark every deflection.
3. Measure each gap; choose weatherstripping that compresses to the gap, not larger.
4. Clean the surface — sealant on dust fails within a season.
5. Seal fixed gaps with backer rod plus caulk; use low-expansion foam only where framing allows.
6. Fit weatherstripping to operable edges; the door or window must still close and latch without force.
7. Re-test every sealed opening with the smoke pencil; the deflection must be gone.
8. Photograph AFTER from the same positions.

If it does not match the plan

Any sign of mould, water staining, or rot at the opening -> stop and flag; sealing traps moisture and makes it worse.
Building is pre-1978 and paint is disturbed -> stop; lead-safe practices required (RRP rule).
A combustion appliance is present and unvented -> do not tighten further without a CO check; tightening can backdraft.
Window or door will not latch after weatherstripping -> the strip is oversized; refit rather than forcing.
Gap exceeds 1cm -> backer rod first; caulk alone will fail.

What counts as done

Before and after photos of every opening from the same position, timestamped, GPS inside the radius
Smoke-pencil re-test documented as showing no deflection at each sealed opening
Every operable opening still closes and latches without force
No sealing performed where moisture damage was present — flagged instead
Materials and gap sizes recorded

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
