Certify More High-Performance Buildings
Without Getting Strangled In EPD Audits, LEED Online Forms & Material Submittals
Stop losing 16+ billable consulting hours every week hand-verifying Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), Health Product Declarations (HPDs), and low-VOC cut sheets, compiling ASHRAE 90.1 energy baseline tables, tracking FSC timber chain-of-custody slips, inputting credit forms into LEED Online or WELL Online, and chasing contractors for submittal revisions. Delegate green certification documentation, material vetting, and ESG tracking to vetted virtual assistants directed by your own Dedicated Project Manager at $0 supervisory surcharge.

Fluent Across the Sustainable Architecture & Engineering Ecosystem
Never waste expensive principal engineer hours explaining what an EPD, HPD, MR credit calculator, ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G baseline, daylight autonomy simulation, or GBCI review audit is. Our virtual assistants are already versed in sustainable building documentation routines.
Daily Responsibilities Handled For Your Sustainability Practice
Here is exactly what an experienced green building operations virtual assistant handles on your behalf so your lead consultants, LEED APs, and energy engineers can stay focused on net-zero design, client charrettes, and billable audits.
LEED & WELL Online Portals & Scorecards
Never lose momentum inputting repetitive project data, boundary narratives, and credit templates into certification portals.
- Drafting and updating LEED v4/v4.1 credit templates across BD+C, ID+C, and O+M rating systems
- Organizing WELL v2 feature verification files: organizational policies, cleaning protocols, and test reports
- Maintaining live project scorecards, tracking targeted vs. pending points, and updating gap logs
- Formatting formal appeal and clarification packets following GBCI preliminary review findings
Material Submittals & Transparency Vetting
Eliminate the exhausting chore of opening 40-page contractor PDF cut sheets to verify chemical ingredient disclosures.
- Auditing contractor material submittals in Procore/Submittal Exchange for LEED MR and EQ credits
- Verifying Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Health Product Declarations (HPDs)
- Reviewing paints, coatings, adhesives, and sealants against SCAQMD Rule 1113 & 1168 VOC gram/liter limits
- Collecting FSC timber vendor invoices, chain-of-custody numbers, and recycled content percentages
Energy Star, Carbon Logs & Cx Admin
Keep your clients' building performance benchmarking, embodied carbon calculations, and Cx logs on schedule.
- Uploading monthly electric, gas, and water utility bills into Energy Star Portfolio Manager
- Formatting structural & architectural bill-of-materials data into EC3 and One Click LCA models
- Collating commissioning (Cx) issue logs, functional test checklists, and O&M manual review binders
- Organizing indoor air quality (IAQ) baseline test lab results and flush-out documentation logs

"We were pursuing LEED Gold for a 350,000 sq ft commercial headquarters. Reviewing 240 contractor submittals for EPDs, HPDs, and SCAQMD VOC limits was paralyzing my engineering team. Our SageDoer VA audited every single submittal and built our materials calculator in half the expected time."
