Inspiration
One of our team members is a community manager for a real estate development group that often has trouble obtaining certifications in their attempts to develop eco-friendly buildings. The trouble that they go through, leaves them demotivated because of the cost and effort, leading them to avoid the process altogether, choosing to instead develop buildings that are not good for the environment.
If there was some way that they could more easily see what tier of LEED certification they could fall into and furthermore, what they need to do to get to the NEXT tier, they would be more motivated to do so, benefiting both their building practices as well as the Earth.
What it does
Our product is a model that takes in building specifications and is trained on LEED codes. We take your building specifications and then answer any questions you may have on your building as well as put it into bronze, silver, gold, or platinum tiering!
How we built it
The project structure is NextJS, React, Tailwind and for the ai component we used a custom openai api contextualized using past building specs and their certification level. We also used stack ai for testing and feature analysis.
Challenges we ran into
The most difficult part of our project was figuring out how to make the model understand what buildings fall into different tiers.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
GETTING THIS DONE ON TIME!!
What we learned
This is our first full stack project using ai.
What's next for LEED Bud
We're going to bring this to builders across Berkeley for them to use! Starting of course at the company of our team member!
