Our story
Built by a founder solving his own problem
NanoTech Materials is a material science company. When we developed advanced building envelope products (cool roof coatings, insulating coatings, thermal emittance treatments) we needed to prove they saved energy. But measuring real-world savings meant months of pilot studies and inconclusive data. The industry's tools couldn't give us answers at the speed our business required.
NanoTech's CEO asked: What if the building could talk? What if we never had to do pilots again? For a year and a half, he built a physics engine nights and weekends while running NanoTech full-time. Every line of code written from first principles, no legacy codebase, no inherited limitations. The platform grew from an internal tool into a standalone energy modeling platform. He took two months off from day-to-day operations to complete the ASHRAE Standard 140-2020 validation, making Roovie one of the few high-fidelity engines to pass the industry's most rigorous benchmark.

Roovie
From internal tool to standalone platform. Every line written from first principles.
Every tool in this market either wraps a slow engine to make it faster, or builds a fast engine that cuts corners on the physics. We chose a third path.
