Energy Consulting
Your team focuses on engineering judgment and client relationships. Roovie handles the model production.
The Challenge
Every building starts from scratch. Your modeler opens an architectural drawing set, manually builds the geometry, enters every assembly layer by layer, configures HVAC systems, creates schedules, runs the simulation, debugs errors, post-processes the output, and assembles a report. Then they do it again for the next building.
60–90 hours
Per building model. Geometry, assemblies, HVAC, schedules, simulation, debugging, post-processing, reporting.
$25K–$100K
Per-building cost for a detailed energy study. Specialist scarcity drives prices higher every year.
1 building
At a time, per modeler, sequential. Every project starts from scratch on a desktop machine.
Your pipeline is limited by your headcount. Scaling means hiring — and the talent pool is shrinking.
The Shift
Workflow
Client sends building address and 12 months of utility bills. Your team enters the address into Roovie. The platform geocodes the location, extracts the footprint, identifies the climate zone, and generates a 3D energy model with assemblies and HVAC systems assigned automatically.
New Engagement
Carver School Campus
Houston, TX · Climate Zone 2A
Your modeler reviews the auto-generated model — adjusts assemblies based on field observations, updates HVAC to match actual equipment, and refines schedules. Upload utility bills. Calibrate until simulated monthly energy matches actual performance.
Variance: −3.1%
Create ECM packages: LED retrofit, VFD upgrades, envelope improvements, heat pump conversion. Each runs as a full simulation. Compare against the calibrated baseline — energy savings, cost savings, carbon reduction, payback.
Assemble the report in the drag-and-drop builder. Export as PDF. Publish to the client portal — your client sees the 3D model, simulation results, and report in their own branded view.
Your Business
The traditional model: your team is the production floor. Every engagement requires the same specialist labor. Your margin is the spread between what you charge and what the modeling costs in hours.
The Roovie model: The platform handles model production. Your team handles what the platform can't: engineering judgment, client relationships, field verification, and strategic recommendations.
But Roovie goes further because NanoTech Materials built the engine. When a simulation identifies buildings that need better thermal performance, NanoTech's materials provide the upgrade path — cool roof coatings validated to ENERGY STAR and CRRC standards, insulating surface treatments. Your firm delivers the analysis and connects your client to the solution, with physics-based M&V to verify the savings.
