RetroFit-AI
Machine Learning Retrofit Recommendation Engine

A machine-learning model that recommends optimal retrofit packages for Canadian housing archetypes. Trained on thousands of real building simulations, it accounts for climate zone, building vintage, construction type, occupancy, and budget to produce ranked retrofit packages with predicted energy savings and payback periods.

Input
City, Climate scenarios, Inflation rates, Your priority
Output
Ranked retrofit packages, Cost savings, GHG emsission reduction, Required government Investment
Coverage
All Canadian climate zones (4-8)

VCWGv1.4.9
High-Fidelity Building Energy Simulation Framework

The Vertical City Weather Generator (VCWG) is a software tool that predicts urban micro-climate and building performance variables in relation to a nearby rural climate, given the urban characteristics. VCWG predicts vertical profiles of temperature, wind speed, humidity, and turbulence kinetic energy as well as building energy performance metrics in an urban area.

Input
Weather file, Energy prices, Type of retrofit
Output
Cost saving, GHG emission reduction, Payback period

VCWGv1.6.1
Optimal Retrofit Pathway Optimizer

A multi-objective optimization engine that simultaneously maximizes Marginal Owner Cost Saving, Marginal Government Cost Saving, and Total GHG emission reduction. Uses a micro genetic algorithm (MGA) to produce a Pareto frontier of retrofit options, letting clients visualize trade-offs between investment and impact before committing.

Algorithm
Micro genetic algorithm (MGA)
Objectives
Marginal Owner Cost Saving, Marginal Government Cost Saving, Total GHG emission reduction
Variables
9 building variables (R values, PV areas, and more) and 5 economic variables (Rebate, loan, and more)
