Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Elya
I support architecture firms, engineering offices, and developers in planning buildings that are energy-efficient and sustainable.
With over 15 years of experience in the construction industry – including 5 years specializing in building simulation and energy sustainability (DesignBuilder, EnergyPlus) – I optimize thermal comfort, daylight conditions, and energy consumption. My career began in structural engineering (structural design, construction execution) before I specialized in building energy simulation and green building certification.
My focus is on sustainable construction projects, LEED certification (Daylight, sDA/ASE), and the practical implementation of energy-efficient concepts – from the concept phase to final simulation documentation.
I offer support with energy analyses, daylight simulations, LEED reports, and building assessments. Clear communication and timely updates are a matter of course for me – let's stay connected!
