Minimum viable simulation from whatever information you happen to have lying around, so you can start asking questions, generating reports, and saving energy and money long before you ever integrate a single sensor or pull a single cable.
Your building, by the numbers.

The vast majority of companies in the building data space do everything backwards. They pitch a big dashboard or a one-size fits all set of solutions, and they immediately start trying to gather data. They get everything into one big virtual pile, hold onto it, stick up some charts, and well...wait.
They wait for the customer to come to them with a question, and once the customer does, they have to rummage through their messy data pile and mash things together hoping to make sense of it all.
What a waste! Wires were pulled, sensors installed, conversations had with IT, credentials shared, documents signed, so much time and money spent, and for what? No one knows, all they know is they wanted to monitor something. What gets measured gets managed, right? Right??? But what use was paying for this slick software if it can't answer a simple question? And why does the customer have to come up with all the questions anyway? The customer has a job to do!
That's why NBI starts simple. NBI ingests whatever information you have about your building, whether that is a brief description, a spec document, a retrocommissioning report, or a smattering of bills and Excel files. It then turns this unstructured data in a minimal simulation of your building.
This minimal simulation, ideally coupled with some utility data, let's NBI start identifying usage and cost anomalies, generating operational questions, and slowly proposing avenues for further exploration. When something looks promising, you can add real, live data at your own pace as need arises. The simulation will tune to the live data and improve in real time, and so too will analytics and ECM proposals.
You can even suggest alternative scenarios to explore, and NBI will not only generate them for, but show you potential savings, suggest the right live data to gather to improve estimates, and show you how to get a project paid for.
Our software supports and enables all the usual suspects:
The difference is, we don't try to bombard you out of the gate. Start simple, and grow into the software as you need it. Our engine will help you figure out if a given offering is even worthwhile, and when it is, we'll help you figure out which sensors, partners, and data are worth paying for, which ones aren't, and which ones you can get paid for.
