What problem does it solve?
Manually drafting CSI-format construction specification language for Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) requirements is time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies, especially when aligning material Global Warming Potential (GWP) thresholds with project sustainability goals like LEED certification.
Core Features & Use Cases
- CSI Section Mapping: Automatically maps common construction materials (concrete, steel, insulation, glazing, etc.) to standard CSI MasterFormat divisions and sections.
- Threshold Integration: Preserves user-provided GWP thresholds in generated specification language, and flags missing thresholds or unclassified materials for professional review.
- LEED Support: Optionally adds LEED v4.1 MRc2 documentation requirements to generated spec sections for sustainability compliance.
- Use Case: A sustainability consultant working on an office tenant improvement project can input material GWP limits to generate ready-to-review specification sections for the project architect.
Quick Start
Use the epd-to-spec skill to generate CSI-format EPD specification sections for your office TI project using the provided concrete and steel GWP thresholds.
