Innovative Building Condition Assessment
Building Condition Assessment

Are you struggling with the time and complexity of building retrofit planning? RetrofitVision offers a powerful solution.
Our platform automates data analysis and report generation (Click Here to see the type of reports), providing the insights you need to develop effective, data-driven retrofit strategies that meet global standards like NECB and ASHRAE.

Whether you have existing data (text, drawings, reports) or need assistance with data collection, RetrofitVision has you covered. Our platform offers a user-friendly upload portal, and with our partners, can perform building scans using the latest thermal and visual imaging technologies.

RetrofitVision’s AI engine then takes over, processing the data and generating comprehensive reports, including building condition assessments, energy models, cost-benefit analyses, and complete retrofit design specifications. Our intuitive interface ensures that these powerful insights are accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical expertise.

LLM (Large Language Models) can help create building retrofit reports by:

Summarizing data: Taking lots of technical info and making short, easy-to-understand summaries.
Writing report sections: Generating text for different parts of the report, like descriptions of the building or recommended upgrades.
Adapting language: Changing the report’s wording to suit different audiences (e.g., building owners or engineers).

Basically, LLMs save time and effort by automating some of the writing involved in creating detailed building retrofit plans.

Standards

ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) doesn’t produce one single “ASHRAE report.” Instead, they publish a wide range of documents, including:

Standards: These are mandatory requirements for specific systems, equipment, or practices.
Guidelines: These are recommendations or best practices for the design, installation, and operation of HVAC&R systems.
Handbooks: These are comprehensive reference manuals covering various aspects of HVAC&R engineering.
Research Reports: These document the findings of research projects funded or conducted by ASHRAE.

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is a globally recognized green building certification program. It provides a framework for creating healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings.

The primary purpose of a LEED report is to document how a building project meets the requirements of the LEED rating system and to demonstrate its achievement in key areas of human and environmental health. This report is submitted to the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI) for review and certification.

BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association, www.boma.ca ) offers various resources and publications, but when you say “BOMA report,” it likely refers to reports related to their BOMA BEST (Building Environmental Standards) program or their market studies.

BOMA BEST is a sustainable building certification program in Canada. Its reports aim to assess and benchmark the environmental performance of existing buildings.

Energy Modeling Reports

An energy modeling report uses computer simulations to predict a building’s energy consumption under various conditions. It’s a crucial tool for both new construction and retrofits. Here’s a breakdown of its purpose and content: Purpose of an Energy Modeling Report:

Predict Energy Performance: The primary goal is to estimate how much energy a building will use for heating, cooling, lighting, and other systems.
Evaluate Design Options: By modeling different design options or retrofit measures, architects and engineers can compare their energy performance and choose the most efficient solutions.
Demonstrate Code Compliance: Many building codes and green building certifications (like LEED) require energy modeling to demonstrate compliance with energy efficiency standards.
Optimize Building Operation: Energy models can optimize building operations by identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption without compromising occupant comfort.
Support Incentive Programs: Some utility companies and government agencies offer incentives for energy-efficient buildings, and energy modeling reports are often required to qualify for these programs.
