Energy PilotAI

Built for ESCOs & energy services contractors

Pursue every opportunity. With the bench you have.

You are not short of buildings. You are short of the engineering weeks it takes to turn each one into a savings number a customer will sign against. Energy Pilot compresses that work from eight weeks to three days — running your calculations, not ours.

Proposals per engineer, per quarter. The analysis cycle drops from eight weeks to three days.

The economics

Three of every four engineering weeks produce no revenue.

Performance contracts need defensible savings before anyone signs. That means a site visit, an equipment inventory, utility data collection, a model, and an engineer's week — spent before you know whether the project proceeds.

At a 25–35% win rate, most of that investment returns nothing. And the opportunities you can't justify staffing never enter the pipeline at all, which is the part that doesn't show up in any report.

The instinct is to be more selective. But selectivity is just rationing a constrained resource — it caps your revenue at whatever your engineering bench can process this quarter.

The alternative is to make the analysis itself cheap enough that pursuing an opportunity is no longer a staffing decision.

Typical pre-sale cost, per opportunity
Engineering analysis$8–12K
Site visits & data collection$3–5K
Proposal development$2–4K
Project management$2–4K
Cost per closed deal, at 30% win rate$50–80K

Illustrative figures based on industry benchmarks and pilot data.

Built around your practice

Your ECMs. Your calculations. Your reports.

Your engineers have spent years building savings calculations they will defend in front of a customer, and a report format that customer already recognizes. Replacing them is not an upgrade. We load them in instead.

Custom equipment ECMsYour measures, your assumptions, your calculation methods — running inside the Lab against captured nameplate specifications rather than category averages.
Your spreadsheets, made repeatableThe calculation living in one senior engineer's workbook becomes an auditable method every engineer on the team runs identically.
Your report templatesWe duplicate a report you already send. Customers receive the document they expect, in your voice, on your letterhead.
Configured during the pilotCustom calculations and report duplication are part of onboarding, not a separate services engagement.

The asset layer

The site walk produces data, not a notebook.

Most of the three-to-five days between a walkthrough and a usable equipment list is transcription. Photograph the nameplate instead: make, model and serial are read on the spot, then matched against our equipment database to fill in the specifications your engineer would otherwise chase down from a manufacturer's site.

Capture walk on a phoneEquipment inventory, photos and condition captured once, structured immediately, available to the team before the engineer is back at their desk.
Proprietary equipment databaseMatched units return efficiency, capacity, refrigerant and control detail automatically — the inputs equipment-level calculations actually need.
BAS, BMS & telemetryIngest the building's own operating data. Load Analysis surfaces scheduling and control faults from metered behavior, not assumptions.
Nothing collected twiceEverything captured feeds the Lab, the models, the proposal and, later, the verification baseline.

Depth on demand

Screening rigor and contract rigor, same building record.

An early number and a number that survives a performance contract are the same record at different depths. Add data, the range narrows — and no engineer rebuilds anything when the deal gets serious.

01 · Engage

Open the conversation

Bills in, benchmark and bill analysis reports out. Something credible in the customer's hands before you spend a site visit on them.

Under the hood

Fast enough to screen. Rigorous enough to sign.

Three calculation methods behind one interface. The platform picks the right fidelity for the stage of the deal and the data that exists — and reports how confident it is either way.

Method 01
ML range forecasts

Quantile regression trained on 10M+ calibrated simulations, returning 10th–90th percentile savings ranges from as little as an address, area and annual energy.

Method 02
Equipment engineering

Engineering calculations against captured nameplate specifications and the specifications of the replacement unit — including your own methods.

Method 03
Calibrated energy models

Auto-constructed building energy models, calibrated against utility data at the click of a button. Export the model file for offline analysis.

Sparse data
Two months is enough

Transfer learning holds up where change-point regression collapses. A partial bill history produces a full baseline matching the building's real seasonal pattern.

Coverage
61 ECMs

HVAC equipment and controls, lighting, envelope, renewables, storage and demand flexibility — plus every measure you bring with you.

Validation
CVRMSE under 15%

Median error against calibrated simulations, inside ASHRAE Guideline 14 tolerances for monthly calibration.

Energy Pilot's Lab measure list: each measure shows energy, annual savings, capital, payback and a four-level confidence rating, with the 80% range printed directly beneath every value and payback given as an interval rather than a point estimate.

The offer

Send one building from your backlog.

Pick something real — ideally one with incomplete utility data that has been sitting in the queue. Send the address, the square footage and whatever bills you have. You get back a benchmark, a ranked measure list with confidence ranges and a sample proposal, inside one business day. Let your engineers judge the baseline themselves.
