Centre for Computational Technologies (CCTech) - proudly announces the early access launch of Buildings AI, a next-generation whole-building performance modeling platform powered by Agentic AI. This breakthrough solution redefines building energy modeling, offering AI-driven automation, real-time insights, and seamless interoperability to empower architects, HVAC, and energy consultants in the global push toward net-zero energy and carbon.
Buildings AI represents a major leap forward in AI-driven building performance analysis, delivering unmatched efficiency and accessibility. By automating time-consuming processes like DWG to BEM conversion, energy modeling, and reporting, the platform helps professionals optimize HVAC systems, energy performance, and carbon impact with unprecedented ease.
The new software leverages Agentic AI, a next-generation artificial intelligence approach that enables automated, intelligent decision-making in complex building simulations. By integrating real-time simulations, predictive design scenario analytics smart defaults, and result extraction through tools like ReportGPT, the platform empowers users to optimize HVAC systems, energy performance, carbon impact, and operational efficiency with unprecedented ease.
Key Features & Benefits
- Inclusive and User-Friendly: The AI-driven interface simplifies complex energy modeling, making it accessible to both experts and newcomers.
- Automated Optimization: The software autonomously assigns smart defaults for materials, designs, HVAC baseline systems based on selected region energy code and climate zone. This will eventually help identify the most efficient pathways to net-zero carbon.
- Real-Time Simulation & Feedback: Instant performance insights due to simulation on cloud helps teams make informed, sustainable choices at every project stage.
- Scalability & Customization: Suitable for projects of all sizes, from small buildings to large commercial developments, the platform is built on robust and proven EnergyPlus physics engine.
- Regulatory Compliance & Reporting powered by AI: Streamlined compliance with green building standards like ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC.
- Automated wizard for CAD to BEM with 3D rendering: The automated 3D rendering features extracts a 3D BEM directly from provide input AutoCAD architecture file saving time lost due repetitive sketch generation.
“Our mission is to remove barriers to sustainable building design," said Rohit Chavan, Head of simulationHub the platform under which the Buildings AI is being launched. Sandip Jadhav, CEO of CCTech, the parent company which owns the platform simulationHub and Buildings AI added:
“Our core mission has always been to democratize technology and increase its reach. By harnessing the power of Agentic AI, we’re making whole-building performance modeling more accessible to a broader audience, ensuring that architects, engineers, and HVAC design experts — regardless of their expertise — can contribute to a net-zero future."
This innovative platform is expected to revolutionize the way the industry approaches HVAC system design and building energy modeling, making it easier for more professionals to engage in sustainable design. As cities and industries worldwide accelerate their decarbonization goals, this tool offers an equitable, scalable, and intelligent solution towards achieving net-zero energy and carbon in the built environment. The initial built of the platform will be available through a selective early access program.
