NZC AI
AI for commercial property, energy and Net Zero Carbon
NZC AI helps property, energy and sustainability teams analyse buildings and portfolios, understand energy and carbon performance, develop reduction pathways and produce structured technical outputs.

- Carbon teams
- Building and energy consultants
- Multi-site organisations
Capability
What NZC AI does
Analyse buildings and portfolios
Interrogate building information, performance data and supporting documents at asset or portfolio scale.
Work with energy and carbon data
Compare consumption, intensity and emissions across assets and reporting periods.
Develop Net Zero Carbon pathways
Build reduction pathways, including CRREM-aligned analysis, and prioritise interventions.
Support compliance work
Assist EPC and MEES exposure review, ESOS and SECR preparation and energy-audit workflows.
Create technical outputs
Produce findings, strategies, intervention plans and reports in consistent structures.
Connect to NZC Portal
Use portfolio, site and building context from NZC Portal and return approved outputs to it.
Retrofit what-if simulation
Test intervention scenarios against a building and see the effect on energy, carbon and performance before committing.
Compliance calendar
Track obligations and deadlines across a portfolio, with status held against each property.
Register data retrieval
Retrieve EPC and TM44 records from the official registers so assessments start from the recorded position.
Building mapping
Look up a building, view it on the map, capture its footprint and record condition items against it.
Data in
Getting the client's data in without re-typing it
Evidence arrives as documents and spreadsheets. NZC AI reads it, places it in the right field and keeps a record of where every figure came from.
Document and PDF ingestion
Uploaded documents are read and the data extracted into the correct RFI fields, rather than re-entered by hand.
Smart CSV upload
Energy and transport data is accepted in the client's own file formats and mapped to the required structure.
Bulk upload
Large portfolios are loaded in bulk instead of asset by asset.
Evidence and audit trail
An evidence record and audit trail is held against every individual data point, so any figure can be traced to its source.
Reporting depth
Energy and carbon reporting across a portfolio
- Fund, asset, unit and meter hierarchy
- Meter data with consent management
- Actual against benchmark carbon
- Water consumption reporting
- Data coverage dashboard
- Data quality flagging

Use cases
Portfolio and building applications
Portfolio screening
Identify the assets driving energy, carbon and compliance exposure across a fund or estate.
Asset business plans
Develop building-level improvement routes with prioritised interventions and reasoning.
Reporting cycles
Prepare consistent asset and portfolio reporting each cycle rather than rebuilding it.
Assurance
How the output is produced and signed off
Numbers come from calculation engines
All numerical output is produced by deterministic calculation engines. Figures are never generated by a language model.
Continuous regulatory watch
Compliance guidance is maintained continuously against UK and EU regulatory change, so the methodology behind an output stays current.
Qualified sign-off before issue
Every issued report is reviewed and signed off by a qualified person — an accredited energy assessor for EPCs, an ESOS Lead Assessor for ESOS. The platform speeds report production; it does not replace the professional.

Integration
NZC Portal integration and the MCP layer
NZC AI acts as the specialist intelligence and MCP layer behind NZC Portal. Portfolio, site, building, energy and carbon context can be used inside the analysis, and approved outputs can be returned to the wider Portal workflow. The same MCP layer is separately licensable to third-party software platforms.

Consultants
Consultant licensing
Building, energy and carbon consultants can license NZC AI individually or for a consultancy team, with reusable workflows and client separation.
