Researchers have developed a neuro-symbolic AI pipeline to streamline the LEED v4.1 BD+C certification process, which typically involves extensive manual review of project documentation. The system aligns project PDFs to LEED credit sections, retrieves evidence, and verifies compliance using a locally hosted 4-billion-parameter language model. Experiments indicate that while the 4-billion-parameter model (gemma3:4b) performs strongly on text-based verification, the full neuro-symbolic configuration's accuracy is impacted by extraction failures and qualitative category challenges. The inclusion of low-resolution images was found to consistently reduce accuracy. AI
IMPACT This research offers a potential pathway to automate complex compliance verification tasks, freeing up human experts for more nuanced aspects of certification.
