About BOMA Best 4.0 Certification

BOMA Best (Building Owners and Managers Association Best) is a national program designed to assess and certify building environmental performance and management. It evaluates factors such as energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, indoor air quality, resilience, accessibility, wellness, and site assessment to help buildings improve their sustainability practices and operational efficiencies.

Steps to Achieve BOMA Best 4.0 Certification

Achieving BOMA Best 4.0 Certification involves several key steps:

1.      Pre-Assessment Preparation:

    • Project Administration: Simplify Energy facilitates the entire BOMA Best certification process, managing project timelines, documentation, and coordination.

2.      Survey and Gap Analysis:

    • Completing the Survey: We conduct a comprehensive survey of your building's operations, systems, and management practices. This includes gathering data on energy usage, water consumption, waste management procedures, indoor air quality, resilience features, accessibility measures, wellness initiatives, and site-specific attributes.

    • Gap Analysis: Evaluate current practices against BOMA Best 4.0 standards to identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement across all assessed areas. This analysis guides the development of a tailored action plan to achieve certification goals.

3.      Technical Delivery of Assessments:

    • Energy & Carbon Audit: Assess energy consumption patterns, energy management systems, and carbon emissions. Our experts analyze data to identify energy-saving opportunities and recommend strategies to reduce your building's carbon footprint.

    • Water Audit: Evaluate water consumption patterns, plumbing fixtures, and irrigation systems. Recommendations focus on optimizing water efficiency through technology upgrades and behavioral changes.

    • Waste Audit: Analyze waste generation, diversion rates, recycling programs, and waste disposal methods. Develop strategies to minimize landfill waste, increase recycling rates, and implement sustainable waste management practices.

    • Indoor Air Quality Assessment: Assess ventilation systems, air exchange rates, pollutant sources, and occupant comfort to ensure optimal indoor air quality standards are met.

    • Resilience and Site Assessment: Evaluate building resilience against climate change impacts, natural disasters, and site-specific vulnerabilities. Recommendations include resilience strategies and site-specific improvements to enhance building durability and safety.

    • Accessibility and Wellness Assessment: Evaluate accessibility features and wellness initiatives within the building. Recommendations focus on enhancing accessibility for all users and promoting occupant wellness through indoor environmental quality improvements.

4.      Implementation of Recommendations:

    • Action Plan Development: Based on survey findings and gap analysis, we develop a detailed action plan outlining specific measures and timelines to achieve BOMA Best 4.0 Certification.

    • Technical Support: Provide ongoing technical expertise and support throughout the implementation phase, ensuring alignment with BOMA Best requirements and standards.

5.      Submission and Certification:

    • Documentation Compilation: Compile and organize all necessary documentation, including audit reports, action plans, and supporting materials.

    • Submission Process: Manage the submission process to BOMA Best, ensuring all requirements are met and documentation is accurate and complete.

    • Certification Achievement: Facilitate the review process with BOMA and support any additional requirements or inquiries to achieve certification.
