What is the Intelli-BuildAI free building energy scan?

The Intelli-BuildAI free building energy scan is a no-cost AI-powered service that converts fragmented building data — utility bills, EPCs, BMS exports, meter data, or basic specifications — into a structured energy, carbon risk and retrofit ROI opportunity report. The report is delivered within 48 hours and is designed to be board-ready. No credit card is required. Available for commercial buildings, hotels, schools, mixed-use assets and real estate portfolios across the UAE, UK and GCC.

What is CRREM and how does it affect my building?

CRREM (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) provides science-based decarbonization pathways for buildings aligned with the Paris Agreement. Intelli-BuildAI uses official CRREM 2.0 pathways to predict your building's stranding year — the point at which its carbon intensity exceeds the allowable pathway — helping property owners, investors, and ESG teams quantify climate-related financial risk.

How do I know the numbers from Intelli-BuildAI are defensible?

Every project has a Trust Centre showing a confidence score, the standards each result was calculated against, an assumptions register recording every value not taken from measured data, and an evidence register linking figures back to their source documents. Methodology is executed against a published validation register of test cases recording pass rate, maximum deviation and engine version, and can be independently attested by a third-party auditor.

Does Intelli-BuildAI verify savings after a retrofit is built?

Yes. Performance drift detection compares metered and BMS telemetry against the governed modelled baseline for the same period, tolerance-banded and pro-rated. Material deviations raise a signal with severity, direction, data-quality flag and probable causes for triage. Measurement and verification is IPMVP-aligned, so savings are reported as verified rather than modelled.

Can lenders review an Intelli-BuildAI project for credit approval?

Yes. The Basel III credit governance modules produce bankability scoring, exposure classification, covenant testing, stress testing, syndication tranches, cashflow forecasting and an ESG disclosure pack, with policy settings sealed into dated epoch snapshots. A read-only lender portal can be granted to a named lender group for a defined period, disclosing only the selected sections, with scoped, expiring, revocable and access-logged permissions.

Does Intelli-BuildAI do CIBSE and ASHRAE compliant heating and cooling load calculations?

Yes. Intelli-BuildAI performs full engineering-grade heating, cooling, and ventilation load calculations following CIBSE Guide A, ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, BCO, Estidama, and regional standards. Calculations include fabric heat loss, infiltration, solar gains, internal gains, and ventilation loads with climate data for 195 countries.

Can I assess LEED, BREEAM, or WELL certification potential?

Yes. Intelli-BuildAI includes a Green Certifications module that assesses your building's potential for LEED, BREEAM, WELL, Estidama (Pearl), Green Mark, NABERS, Fitwel, and more. The platform maps your project parameters to certification prerequisites and credits, identifying gaps and improvement opportunities.

How does the AI HVAC equipment specification work?

Intelli-BuildAI uses calculated heating and cooling loads to automatically specify appropriate HVAC equipment — heat pumps, chillers, AHUs, VRF systems, fan coils, and more — from a database of real manufacturer products. It provides sizing, COP/SEER ratings, embodied carbon (TM65), BIM objects, and estimated costs from preferred suppliers.

What countries and building standards does Intelli-BuildAI support?

Intelli-BuildAI supports 195 countries with a database of 1,100+ building standards. Regional support includes UK (Part L, EPC, DEC, CIBSE), GCC (Estidama, GSAS, ASHRAE 90.1), EU (EPBD, EN standards), US/Canada (ASHRAE, IECC, NECB), Australia/NZ (NCC, NABERS), and Asia (BCA Green Mark, OTTV, J-Green). Standards are automatically updated daily.

Can Intelli-BuildAI find grants and funding for building retrofits?

Yes. The Grant & Funding Research module uses AI to automatically discover available grants, loans, tax incentives, and government schemes for your specific location, building type, and retrofit measures. The platform has identified over £276 million in funding opportunities across its user base and can generate funding application documents.

Is Intelli-BuildAI free to use?

Intelli-BuildAI offers a free EUI assessment and CRREM stranding risk analysis — no credit card required, results in 5 minutes. Advanced modules including detailed load calculations, AI equipment specification, scenario planning, cost management, and funding research are available as paid add-ons with per-project or subscription pricing.

Intelli-BuildAI by OAIRO

Building Decarbonisation Software for Portfolios and Single Assets

A decarbonisation programme engine — not another dashboard. Intelli-BuildAI takes buildings through a six-step journey: Assess, Benchmark, Optimise, Fund, Deliver and Verify, with governance at every stage.

The challenge

Decarbonisation programmes fail when data, finance and delivery live in separate tools. Energy audits sit in PDFs, ROI models in spreadsheets and M&V in consultant reports — with no shared evidence base. The result is duplicated cost, low board confidence and stalled capital approval.

How Intelli-BuildAI helps

Intelli-BuildAI unifies the full decarbonisation lifecycle. Building baselines are calculated from verifiable evidence, retrofit measures are modelled with physics-based load calculations, funding options are matched to your region, and savings are verified against IPMVP-aligned measurement plans. Every number carries a confidence level and links back to its source evidence.

Six-step programme journey: Assess → Benchmark → Optimise → Fund → Deliver → Verify
Physics-based load and energy modelling, not generic estimates
Grant and funding research matched to building region
Evidence register with verification status per input
Board-level reports with capex, payback and valuation impact
IPMVP-aligned measurement & verification tracking

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from an energy dashboard?

Dashboards display consumption. Intelli-BuildAI is a programme engine: it calculates baselines, models retrofit measures, matches funding, generates board reports and verifies delivered savings — with an auditable evidence trail throughout.

Does it work for single buildings or full portfolios?

Both. Start with one building and one utility bill, or onboard a portfolio with team workspaces, roles and permissions, spending controls and portfolio-level prioritisation by stranding risk and ROI.

What standards are the calculations mapped to?

Calculations are referenced against CRREM pathways, CIBSE TM54 operational energy methodology, RIBA 2030 targets and IPMVP measurement protocols, drawing on a standards database spanning 195 countries. The platform states clearly where outputs are indicative pending validation.

How does it support lender and credit committee approval?

The credit governance modules convert the engineering case into a lender-facing one: bankability scoring, exposure classification, covenant testing, stress testing and an ESG disclosure pack, with a read-only lender portal disclosing only the sections you grant, for a defined period, access-logged.

How are delivered savings verified?

Performance drift detection compares metered and BMS telemetry against the governed modelled baseline, tolerance-banded and pro-rated to the period. Deviations raise a triageable signal with severity and probable causes, and measurement and verification follows IPMVP principles throughout.

Can it support green building certifications?

Yes. The certification workspace maps project parameters to LEED, BREEAM, WELL, Estidama Pearl and other schemes' credits, tracks evidence against each requirement and flags gaps — so the certification submission is assembled continuously alongside the decarbonisation programme.

Start with one building.

Upload one utility bill, EPC or BMS export and receive a structured opportunity scan.
