The platform

One decision layer for building efficiency.

SimEffi connects utility performance, building characteristics, retrofit opportunities, incentives and financial logic so owners can compare options before committing capital.

The five-step flow

How a building moves from bills to a plan

Identify

opportunities

Screen the building's data for what is actually costing money — not a generic retrofit list.

Quantify

impact & value

Put cost, savings, payback and confidence against every measure worth considering.

Prioritize

what matters

Rank the opportunities so the first dollar goes where the gap is widest.

Fund

with incentives

Match measures to current programs and flag the timing that protects the funding.

Act

with confidence

Move forward knowing what can be done now and what needs professional validation.

Modules

Four layers, one workflow

01

Utility Intelligence

Establish a defensible baseline from electricity, natural gas, cost, demand where available, operating patterns and building size.

  • 12–24 month utility baseline
  • Seasonality and energy intensity
  • Peak-demand observations
  • Load-profile and baseload analysis
  • Data-quality and confidence flags
02

Opportunity Engine

Screen common efficiency opportunities against what is actually known about the building, rather than returning a generic retrofit list.

  • HVAC schedules and controls
  • Existing-building commissioning
  • Lighting and networked controls
  • VFD and motor opportunities
  • Envelope and electrification pathways
03

Scenario Modelling

Compare indicative project cost, potential savings, incentives and payback to determine which ideas deserve technical validation first.

  • Measure-level and package economics
  • Interaction adjustment between measures
  • Sensitivity on the assumptions that matter
  • Simple payback before and after incentives
04

Capital Planner

Sequence opportunities into near-term actions, planned upgrades and longer-horizon projects instead of treating every retrofit as equally urgent.

  • Three-year roadmap sized to a real budget
  • Cumulative cash position and breakeven
  • What to do before committing capital equipment
Methodology

How the numbers are produced

The full method, assumptions and limitations are published inside every report — not held back as proprietary.

  • Twelve months of billing data normalized to annual consumption, cost, blended rate and peak demand
  • A site intake establishes trigger conditions — equipment age, controls coverage, hours, comfort issues
  • Twelve library measures screened for trigger match, then assigned savings, cost, incentive eligibility and confidence
  • Measures ranked by opportunity score, then assembled into a sequenced package
  • Package savings discounted for measure interaction, with sensitivity run on the key assumptions

What the platform will not do

Replace an engineering audit

Screening tells you where to look. Design, sizing and code work belong with qualified professionals.

Guarantee savings or funding

Estimates are estimates. Incentive eligibility is confirmed by the program administrator, not by us.

Sell you equipment

There is no product attached to the recommendation, which is why the report can recommend doing nothing.
