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.

Dubai — Cooling & Operations

Turn District Cooling and DEWA Data into a Ranked Retrofit ROI Plan

For Dubai facilities managers, hotel and mall operators, office owners and ESCOs: convert cooling and electricity data into a prioritised, evidence-backed plan — not another generic audit PDF.

Cooling dominates the energy cost of most Dubai commercial buildings. The savings available depend on your plant, schedules and load profile — which is why Intelli-BuildAI calculates them from your data rather than quoting industry percentages.

What the analysis covers

Chilled-water optimisation

Delta-T, flow and plant-efficiency analysis from your metering and BMS evidence, where available.

BMS schedule review

Operating schedules and setpoints assessed against occupancy — a frequent source of avoidable cooling load.

Peak load & demand

Peak-demand profile and load-shape analysis to inform tariff and plant-sizing decisions.

VFD & plant measures

Physics-modelled measures — VFDs, staging, heat rejection — ranked by indicative capex and payback.

IPMVP baseline

A measurement & verification baseline so savings claims can be proven after implementation.

Indicative payback ranking

Every measure carries indicative payback derived from your data, clearly marked pending validation.

What you upload

DEWA bills and/or district cooling invoices (12 months ideal)
BMS exports or trend logs if available
Basic building details — area, use, operating hours

What you receive

Ranked retrofit ROI plan with indicative payback
Cooling and electricity load-profile analysis
BMS and schedule optimisation findings
IPMVP-aligned baseline for future verification

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

We buy district cooling — is this still relevant?

Yes. District-cooled buildings still control air-side systems, schedules, setpoints and internal loads, and the contract structure itself often rewards demand and consumption reduction. The analysis adapts to whether you operate your own plant or purchase cooling.

What savings percentage can we expect?

We deliberately do not quote generic percentages. Savings depend on your plant, schedules and load profile, so Intelli-BuildAI calculates indicative figures from your actual data and labels them pending validation.

Do you need BMS access?

No — a DEWA bill is enough to start. BMS trend data increases the depth and confidence of the schedule and plant analysis.

How are savings proven afterwards?

The scan establishes an IPMVP-aligned baseline. Post-retrofit, measured consumption is compared against that baseline so delivered savings are verified rather than asserted.
