From Months to Minutes: The Business Case Revolution For EPC B
Traditional retrofit business cases take months to develop, cost thousands just for feasibility studies, and often lack the credibility to secure investment. By the time you have an answer, budget cycles have moved on, and opportunities are lost.
What if you could improve the accuracy in a fraction of the time: Triple validated
At OptimiseAI, we're driving a fundamental shift in how organisations generate business cases for building decarbonisation. Using live utility data, physics-based building models, and AI trained on millions of building data points, we're creating triple-validated business cases in minutes, not months.
Here's what's possible now using our Predict platform:
Generate retrofit scenarios with live calculations instantly including
ROI
Energy savings
Costs savings
Emission savings
Adjust costs and specifications in real-time
Share live, interactive business cases directly with decision-makers
Track actual performance against predictions post-implementation
Calculate scenarios to move to EPC B instantly
What if you could calculate scenarios, including the the ROI of each, to move your buildings to an EPC C or B to meet the future

Track Returns Real Time
You can now track and validate your business case including the building energy and emissions savings based on the scenarios you implemented and changes you made.

Why this matters for boards:
Cambridge's Future of Boards research (study here) reveals that boards leading the way "use sustainability impact data, and wider information, to inform their strategic direction and decision-making" rather than traditional forecasts and reporting requirements.
The challenge has always been getting reliable, actionable data quickly enough to inform strategic decisions. When you can generate and validate business cases in real-time, it transforms how boards can engage with sustainability retrofit investments.
As one Head of Sustainability put it:
"It takes away the emotive reasons. It definitely drops it into financial reasons... that makes my job easier."
The transformation is already happening:
Leading organisations are shifting from hoping their sustainability investments will work to knowing they will - with live tracking that validates business cases post-implementation.
The question for boards isn't whether to invest in decarbonisation. EPC requirements and building decarbonisation targets are clear. As stewards of the future, boards need to ask the right questions of their executives to ensure that organisation makes a positive contribution to solving our environmental challenges.
The question is: will you make those investment decisions based on months-old estimates, or real-time, validated business intelligence?
The tools to make change easier, faster, and more accurate already exist. The only question is when you'll start using them.
