Bring AI-Assisted Energy-Efficiency Assessments to Your Building Projects
“Make energy efficiency part of every building conversation.”
Every Building Has the Potential to Perform Better.
Discover it with RetroAI.
AI-assisted building assessments. Visual improvement concepts. Smarter project conversations.
A building may look complete, yet still have opportunities to improve thermal comfort, energy efficiency and sustainability.
For architects and builders, identifying those opportunities is only the beginning. Explaining them to clients, visualising possible improvements and deciding what to investigate first can take time.
RetroAI brings these steps together in an AI-powered building assessment platform informed by national building standards and green building criteria such as IGBC, GRIHA and EDGE.
Explore potential energy-efficiency improvements through structured recommendations, indicative sustainability assessments and AI-generated visualisations.
Whether you are evaluating an existing property, advising a homeowner or exploring sustainability options for a project, RetroAI helps you move from What could be improved? to What should we explore next?
Because better building performance begins with better-informed decisions.
The Challenge Is Not Just Building Better. It Is Knowing Where to Start.
Architects and builders are increasingly expected to consider energy consumption, thermal comfort, environmental impact and long-term building performance.
But each property presents a different set of challenges.
- Finding the opportunity. Heat gain through roofs, walls and windows, inadequate shading and inefficient equipment may contribute to avoidable energy use.
- Explaining the solution. Clients may struggle to understand why a particular building improvement matters or what a proposed change could look like.
- Prioritising the options. Multiple interventions may be possible, but their suitability, cost and expected benefits vary.
- Making sustainability understandable. Technical recommendations are more useful when clients follow the reasoning and discuss the next steps.
RetroAI is designed to help you explore these questions earlier in the decision-making process.
Meet RetroAI: Building Intelligence for Better Decisions
RetroAI is an AI-powered platform that converts building photographs and questionnaire responses into a preliminary assessment of potential energy-efficiency improvements.
Rather than starting with a long list of disconnected solutions, explore a structured view of the building, possible interventions and opportunities for further investigation.
- Assess
Identify potential building-performance issues using photographs and information about the property. - Visualise
See AI-generated concepts illustrating how selected improvements could change the appearance of a building or space. - Prioritise
Review preliminary recommendations, indicative costs where available, and an assessment of potential sustainability improvements. - Plan
Use the assessment to support client discussions, identify questions requiring technical validation and determine appropriate next steps.
From Building Photograph to Improvement Plan
01 — Start with the Building
Upload photographs of relevant building areas and answer a short questionnaire. Provide the context for an initial assessment.
02 — Explore the Assessment
RetroAI analyses the submitted information to identify potential opportunities relating to thermal comfort, the building envelope, energy use and other relevant sustainability considerations.
03 — See the Possibilities
Review AI-generated visualisations of proposed improvements alongside the original photographs. Concepts may include shading, reflective surfaces, greenery and solar installations where appropriate.
04 — Discuss What Comes Next
Review the recommendations and identify which options need further investigation. Use the report to structure conversations with clients and coordinate the next stage of professional assessment.
The result: a more visual, structured starting point for building-improvement decisions.
What Can You Explore with RetroAI?
- Thermal Comfort and Building Envelope
Look at potential opportunities across roof surfaces, external walls, glazing, shading and ventilation, and identify which features need closer investigation. - Energy-Efficiency Opportunities
Review preliminary suggestions involving lighting, cooling equipment and other building features that may influence energy consumption. - Solar and Renewable Energy
Consider the potential relevance of rooftop solar and other renewable-energy measures, subject to site suitability and technical assessment. - Water and Green Infrastructure
Consider opportunities involving rainwater harvesting, greenery and related sustainability interventions where relevant. - Sustainability Assessment
Review an indicative building sustainability score and the opportunities identified by the assessment. Use these insights to guide further investigation not as a certification.
Recommendations vary according to the property, the information supplied and assessment’s capabilities.
See the Difference Between an Idea and a Visual Plan
Building improvements can be difficult to communicate through technical descriptions alone.
RetroAI’s AI-generated visualisations help make proposed concepts easier to discuss. Compare an original photograph with an AI-generated improved version, then review the recommendations behind that concept, prioritise them and see the impact of applying them.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is RetroAI a replacement for an energy audit?
No. RetroAI provides AI-assisted preliminary assessments. Detailed energy audits, engineering calculations, structural assessments and compliance checks should be carried out by qualified professionals when required. - Can RetroAI guarantee energy savings?
No. Energy-saving and carbon-reduction estimates are indicative. Actual outcomes depend on the building, climate, occupancy, equipment, selected interventions and implementation quality. - Can I use RetroAI for existing buildings?
The platform is designed to explore improvement opportunities for existing buildings using photographs and questionnaire responses. Assessment quality depends on the information supplied and the capabilities of the current platform. - Are the before-and-after images actual completed projects?
No. The improved images generated by RetroAI are illustrative AI-generated concepts, unless separately documented as photographs of a completed project. - Does a RetroAI sustainability score represent IGBC or GRIHA certification?
No. An indicative platform assessment must not be represented as an official IGBC, GRIHA, EDGE or other certification. Formal certification requires the relevant programme’s own process. - How can I become an early-access partner?
