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.

Global — Engineering Teams

Physics-Verified Building Energy Simulation Software for Faster Decisions

For MEP engineers, architects, energy modellers and consultants: run load calculations, climate-driven simulations and retrofit scenarios in one platform — with standards, equipment sizing, ROI and client-ready reports attached to the same evidence base.

Most simulation workflows fragment across load tools, spreadsheets and report documents, so results drift out of sync with design decisions. A single deterministic engine with recorded provenance removes the reconciliation work and makes every output defensible.

Built forMEP engineersArchitects & designersEnergy modellersConsultancies of any size

What the analysis covers

Load calculations

Heating, cooling, ventilation and hot-water loads from deterministic physics engines, zone by zone.

Climate data

Location-specific weather and TMY data drive the simulation — not generic climate assumptions.

Scenario modelling

Compare design options, retrofit packages and operating strategies on identical baselines.

Standards alignment

Calculations referenced to CIBSE, ASHRAE and regional codes, with a standards database spanning 195 countries.

Equipment sizing

Plant and terminal sizing derived from calculated loads, connected to product data.

ROI & reporting

Capex, payback and lifecycle cost joined to the engineering, exported as client-ready reports.

What you upload

Building geometry, drawings or basic dimensions
Location and use-type details
Existing loads, schedules or BMS data if available

What you receive

Zone-level load calculations with method references
Scenario comparisons on a common baseline
Equipment sizing outputs connected to loads
Client-ready reports with full provenance

Turnaround is rapid and depends on the completeness of the data you share.

See a real output first

Every figure in an Intelli-BuildAI report links back to its input evidence and the standard it was calculated against. Review a sample before you share any data.

Transparent methodology

Outputs are produced by deterministic, physics-based calculation engines referenced to published standards, with data provenance recorded per input. Where inputs are incomplete, results are clearly marked indicative pending validation — no figure is presented as verified until the underlying evidence supports it.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from traditional simulation tools?

The simulation engine is joined to standards, equipment selection, costing and reporting in one evidence base — so results flow into decisions without re-keying, and every figure retains its provenance.

Is the engine deterministic or AI-generated?

Load and energy calculations are deterministic and physics-based, validated against published test cases. AI assists with document ingestion and drafting — it never generates the numbers.

Which regions and codes are covered?

The standards database spans 195 countries, including CIBSE and UK Building Regulations, ASHRAE and US codes, and GCC frameworks such as Estidama and Mostadam.

Can I validate the results?

Yes. A published validation register shows engine test-case results, and every calculation exposes its inputs, method and standard reference.
