Stop Guessing Energy Savings
Instantly compare your design’s estimated energy use to baseline standards—no more tedious calculations.
Manually crunching energy consumption numbers eats up your time and focus. Double-checking standards and recalculating with every design tweak drags out your workflow and delays client updates.
An Energy Savings Calculation Agent for Architects is an AI-powered agent that helps architects calculate potential energy savings by analyzing proposed designs against baseline standards, enabling faster, data-backed decisions.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
Calculating energy savings for each design iteration means sifting through standards, running complex formulas, and documenting every assumption. Even small changes require recalculating and cross-referencing with baseline codes. This repetitive work slows down project delivery and leaves room for manual error.

AI Agent FAQ
The agent can process each design iteration you submit individually. You need to initiate a new request for each version, and it will generate a separate report for each.
The agent supports commonly used energy standards such as ASHRAE and IECC. Specify your preferred baseline in your prompt for accurate comparisons.
You receive the report as an editable document. You can make changes or add comments before sharing with clients or reviewers.
The agent works with exported files from your existing tools. Direct integration is not available, but you can upload files for analysis.
Your uploaded files and calculation results are processed securely and are not shared with third parties. Data is only used for your requested task.
