Existing buildings
BuildSense
The system of record for an existing building.
What it is
BuildSense ingests the IFC models, utility bills, project documents, engineering reports and site visit data you upload, and organizes them into one structured digital record of the building. Energy reporting, retrofit planning and capital decisions can then all work from the same record.
Who it is for
Property owners, portfolio managers, asset and facility teams, engineers, energy advisors, retrofit teams
Capabilities
What BuildSense does.
One record, five kinds of evidence
IFC models, utility bills, project documents, engineering reports and site visit data all land in the same place. What has always lived in separate drives, binders and inboxes becomes one structured record of the building.
Every value knows where it came from
Each attribute in the record carries its source: the model, a document, a report, a site visit note, a default, or a person, and every change shows who made it. When two sources disagree, you can see which is which and decide, rather than inherit a number nobody can explain.
Site visits become data, not memory
What was noted on a site visit is recorded as structured data against the asset it concerns, so it survives staff turnover and is there for the next decision instead of sitting in a PDF.
Portfolio energy benchmarking
Track energy use over time from utility data and compare it across your portfolio, so retrofit planning with your engineering team starts from the same numbers.
Cost and carbon together
Retrofit options your team is considering can be reported side by side on cost and carbon — simple payback, net present value, internal rate of return, benefit-cost ratio and dollars per tonne of CO₂e — in the terms the capital decision is actually made in.
Configurable alerts
Set your own thresholds and get notified when consumption moves outside the range you have defined.
How it works
From scattered evidence to one record.
Ingest
Upload IFC models, utility bills, project documents, engineering reports and site visit data.
Reconcile
Sources are matched to assets, conflicts surfaced, and every value keeps its provenance.
Organize
Everything lands in one structured record of the building, with each value's source shown.
Report
Energy use tracked over time, benchmarked across the portfolio, and reported on cost and carbon.
Update
New utility data and site visit uploads keep the record current; alerts flag consumption outside your thresholds.
