A very interesting debate.
In my view, the real challenge is not that AI could fabricate LEED
documentation (after all, a human modeller can also choose to manipulate a
report) but rather that AI has the potential to automate the entire
workflow from start to finish. That would fundamentally change the value
proposition of our profession.

Regarding the idea of placing model input files in escrow, I?ve always felt
that the main barrier isn?t technical but practical: having full access to
inputs would require reviewers to engage at a much deeper level and would
inevitably expose a far greater number of modelling errors than current
review processes are designed (or resourced) to handle. We have all seen
highly questionable models pass review with relative ease.

Improving this would unquestionably benefit good modellers, but it would
also require a significant shift in how certification review is structured
and funded. That?s why AI raises important questions: if automation makes
it easier to produce polished reporting, then verifiable modelling
practices and transparent data become even more essential to protect the
integrity of the process.
Best,
