Eastside Commons · Unit 304
Linked maintenance request
REQ-1041
Outcome we're working toward
A home that stays warm at the thermostat setting, with building performance documented rather than assumed, so later efficiency work is based on findings.

Identify and Understand are complete for this case. It is now entering planning and matching.
Repair before upgrade
Repair before upgrade. Work is sequenced as immediate safety and stabilization, then repair and preservation, then professional assessment, then reducing energy load and improving efficiency, then system upgrades, and only afterwards future clean-energy and resilience improvements.
AI-assisted guidance — human review required
ThriveAI is a coordination assistant, not a building diagnostician. This is not a building diagnosis, a professional inspection, a BPI assessment, a HERS rating, an eligibility determination, or a guarantee of rebates, funding or energy savings. Resident-reported information stays resident-reported, and not-assessed information stays not assessed.
1 · Immediate — Address the active housing issue
Review and resolve the currently open heating concern under REQ-1041.
Happening now
Why
An active comfort concern is open on this home. Restoring the home to a comfortable, working condition comes before any efficiency or clean-energy work.
Evidence & context
- Resident reportedResident reported: "My house is freezing even though the heat is running, and my energy bill is high."
- Resident reportedIs the home reaching the temperature you set on the thermostat? — "No, it never gets there"
- Resident reportedAre certain rooms noticeably colder or draftier than others? — "Yes, some rooms"
- DocumentedAn active maintenance request (REQ-1041) is open on this unit.
- DocumentedPrevious heating concerns: 2 earlier records (REQ-1041, REQ-1019)
Responsible party
Property Manager / qualified HVAC professional
Verification required
A qualified heating professional needs to verify how the heating system is operating and how heat is reaching the unit. No cause has been established and no equipment condition is being asserted here.
Related Property Passport information
- Building Systems — Heating system: 2003 · Gas-fired boiler with hydronic radiators · condition: Aging (Documented)
- Building Health — Previous heating concerns: 2 earlier records (REQ-1041, REQ-1019) (Documented)

2 · Next — Understand building performance
Determine whether a qualified building-performance / home-energy assessment is appropriate for this home, after the active heating issue is addressed.
After the active issue is addressed
Why
The Property Passport shows resident-reported drafts, no energy assessment on file, and unknown insulation and weatherization conditions. An assessment is how those unknowns become documented information rather than assumptions.
Evidence & context
- Resident reportedDraft concern: Draft reported at living room windows; not measured
- Not assessedInsulation records: No records on file
- Not assessedEnergy assessment: No energy or building-performance assessment on file
Responsible party
Qualified BPI / building-performance professional (scheduled with the property manager)
Verification required
Whether an assessment is appropriate, and what it would examine, is a professional determination. Nothing about the building envelope has been measured yet.

- Building Systems — insulation records

3 · Then — Evaluate appropriate efficiency improvements
Use the assessment findings to evaluate which efficiency improvements, if any, are appropriate for this home.
Only once findings exist
Why
Improvement areas should follow measured findings, not assumptions. These are areas a professional may evaluate — none has been confirmed as a deficiency on this property.
Evidence & context
- Not assessedNo building-performance assessment is on file, so no improvement need has been established.
Potential improvement areas — assessment required
These are not confirmed deficiencies or needs for this home.
Responsible party
Building-performance professional with the property owner / manager
Verification required
Every area below requires an assessment before it can be considered a need. Scope, suitability and sequencing are professional determinations.

4 · Later — Long-term clean-energy readiness
Revisit long-term clean-energy readiness once repairs are complete and building performance is documented.
Long-term, not yet under consideration
Why
Clean-energy readiness is tracked in the Property Passport as future context for this property. These are considerations for later review, not recommendations for this home.
Evidence & context
- Not assessedHeat pump / electrification readiness: Not assessed
- Not assessedSolar readiness: Not assessed
- Not assessedBattery storage readiness: Not assessed
- Not assessedEV charging readiness: Not assessed
Future considerations — not recommendations for this property
These are not confirmed deficiencies or needs for this home.
Responsible party
Property owner with appropriate qualified professionals, when the time comes
Verification required
None of these has been assessed for this property. Each would require professional evaluation, and would only be considered if assessment findings later support it.
