New Construction Services

Nexant assists developers, government agencies, facility owners, builders, and design teams in creating high-performance buildings.

LEED-NC Certification
Nexant provides technical support to projects pursuing certification by the U. S. Green Building Council 's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) program. Nexant's LEED modeling services help facility owners and developers to achieve LEED certification for New Construction, Core and Shell, and Existing Buildings.

Specifically, we support LEED credits in the energy and atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, and innovation and design process categories, which include:

• Existing building commissioning; fundamental commissioning; and enhanced commissioning
• Minimum energy performance; optimized energy performance
• Building operations and maintenance
• Performance measurement; measurement and verification (M&V)
• Outside air introduction; environmental tobacco smoke control; outside air delivery monitoring; increased ventilation
• System controllability; thermal comfort
• Innovation in design; LEED-accredited professional organization

Our services will fulfill both the Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning requirements under the LEED Core and Shell program.

Nexant's LEED-accredited professionals have expertise in commissioning, recommissioning, energy simulation modeling, building systems optimization, and measurement and verification, and HVAC design, as well as LEED administration and facilitation.

Design Assistance
For other new construction projects, Nexant provides design assistance, modeling, economic analysis, and commissioning support.

Our energy design assistance provides whole building, integrated design reviews that include building owners, architects, and engineers. All building systems (envelope, HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, controls) are modeled against energy codes and standards. The modeling results are shared with the design team and building owners who then collaborate to find optimal solutions accounting for energy savings, construction and operating costs, and inhabitant comfort, functionality, and other considerations.

Commissioning
Nexant is a premier provider of whole facility commissioning (Cx) services. We test energy systems and equipment in new construction projects to ensure that all energy-related systems are operating according to their optimized design specifications and meet the owner's requirements in the most energy-efficient manner possible.

Our services can fulfill both the fundamental and enhanced commissioning requirements under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Core and Shell program.
