Building economics
Review annual energy consumption, tariff context and likely HVAC-driven cost reduction before moving into technical detail.
Building performance economics, assessed before you invest
EcoAI helps building owners and operators understand whether continuous optimisation is likely to create a measurable commercial return before progressing to technical validation or implementation.
Our approach starts with the economics of the building, not the technology. Using basic building and energy information, EcoAI prepares a Desktop Commercial Assessment to establish the indicative financial opportunity, likely carbon benefit and whether the building presents a strong enough case to progress.
Commercial value first
Commercial value first
Not every building presents the same level of opportunity. EcoAI assesses energy spend, building use, HVAC profile, BMS presence, operating patterns and remote access route before deciding whether further technical work is justified.
Operational profile
Understand how operating hours, occupancy, comfort requirements and plant behaviour affect the likely commercial return.
Progress decision
Decide whether the opportunity is credible enough to justify deeper technical validation and business case development.
Desktop Commercial Assessment
What the Desktop Commercial Assessment shows
The Desktop Commercial Assessment gives owners and operators an early view of whether continuous optimisation could create a commercially credible opportunity.
- Indicative annual savings
- Estimated annual financial benefit
- Indicative carbon reduction
- Commercial attractiveness
- Remote access gateway status
- Recommendation to progress, pause or stop
Commercial routes
Two routes to a positive business case
Subscription model
A low-capital route designed to be funded from savings delivered.
Capital purchase
A capital investment route for stronger long-term net benefit, lower ongoing service cost and clear payback.
Technical validation
Technical validation before implementation
Where the desktop commercial case is strong, EcoAI reviews the existing BMS, remote access route, control strategy, available data points and HVAC capability. myCoreAI is introduced once the commercial opportunity and technical route are clear. The existing BMS remains the control system.
BMS and data access
Confirm the BMS platform, available trend data, control points and remote access route.
Control strategy
Review how plant is currently controlled and where selected HVAC setpoints can be optimised safely.
Implementation route
Define how optimisation would be delivered while keeping existing control logic and operational responsibility in place.
Business case development
Building Performance Business Case
Once the commercial opportunity and technical route are validated, EcoAI prepares a business case confirming expected value, implementation route, commercial model and next steps.
Expected value
Estimated energy, cost and carbon benefit.
Commercial model
Subscription or capital purchase route.
Route to delivery
Implementation steps, technical requirements and verification approach.
Initial information
Start with an Initial Building Information Form
Provide basic building and energy information, and EcoAI will prepare a Desktop Commercial Assessment to establish whether there is a commercially credible opportunity to progress.
Next step
Assess the commercial case for your building
The first step is not a technical installation discussion. It is a commercial assessment of whether your building is likely to deliver a worthwhile return.
