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

Hotel Energy Saving Platform for UAE and GCC Hotels

Analyse hotel energy consumption, cooling system performance, BMS data gaps and retrofit opportunities to identify where energy cost and carbon savings may be achievable.

The challenge

Hotels in the UAE and GCC operate in some of the world's most demanding cooling environments. High district cooling costs, inefficient HVAC scheduling, ageing BMS systems and unmonitored energy use combine to create significant financial exposure — but few hotel operators have a structured way to quantify the problem or prioritise action.

How Intelli-BuildAI helps

Intelli-BuildAI analyses hotel utility bills, occupancy data, BMS exports and equipment specifications to produce a structured energy, cooling and retrofit opportunity scan. Outputs identify where improvements are most likely to deliver cost and carbon reductions.

Hotel EUI benchmarking against sector standards
Cooling system efficiency assessment (indicative)
BMS readiness and control gap review
Energy waste estimate by system (indicative)
Carbon exposure and stranding-year assessment
Retrofit priority ranking with indicative payback

Frequently asked questions

Can Intelli-BuildAI work with district cooling systems?

Yes. District cooling consumption is included alongside electricity in the energy baseline, so cooling intensity is assessed on a whole-building basis and benchmarked against the relevant CIBSE TM46 hotel category and ASHRAE references.

What data do I need to start a hotel energy assessment?

Building type, location and floor area produce a benchmarked baseline; twelve months of utility and district cooling bills materially improve it. BMS exports, occupancy data and equipment schedules deepen the analysis further, with the confidence level stated on every result.

How does the scan help hotel operators justify investment?

Each measure carries a capital cost, a modelled energy and carbon saving built up from the hotel's own load profile, and payback, IRR and NPV — plus the indicative Green Premium value uplift at your cap rate. Every figure links to its assumptions, which is what an owner's board or lender will test.

How are savings proven after works are completed?

Performance drift detection compares metered and BMS telemetry against the modelled baseline for the same period, and measurement and verification follows IPMVP principles — so reported savings are verified rather than assumed.

Do you work with multi-property hotel groups?

Yes. Team workspaces support portfolio-level assessment with shared projects, ranking of assets by EUI gap and saving value, and centrally controlled spend. Contact us to discuss a structured assessment programme.

Is the first hotel scan free?

Yes. The first building scan is free — upload one utility bill, EPC or BMS export to receive a structured opportunity scan within 48 hours.
