How RetroAI Works
RetroAI combines artificial intelligence, building science and sustainability expertise to help property owners better understand their buildings and identify practical opportunities to improve energy efficiency, water conservation and overall environmental performance.
AI Designed to Support Better Decisions
RetroAI analyses the information you provide, including building photographs and questionnaire responses, to identify practical opportunities for improving building performance.
Our AI combines this information with recognised sustainability practices and building science to generate personalised recommendations that are easy to understand and prioritised based on their potential impact.
Our Goal
To make sustainability assessments simple, accessible and practical, helping users make informed decisions for healthier, more efficient and environmentally responsible buildings.

What Powers RetroAI?
RetroAI combines multiple AI technologies to understand buildings and generate recommendations that are practical, personalised and easy to implement.
Multimodal Analysis
RetroAI analyses multiple sources of information, including building photographs, questionnaire responses and property details, to develop a comprehensive understanding of your building.
Looking at information from different sources enables our AI to provide recommendations that are more relevant, personalised and practical than relying on a single input.
AI Reasoning
Our AI connects the information you provide with established sustainability practices and building science to identify practical opportunities for improving your building.
Rather than simply describing your building, the AI focuses on identifying meaningful improvements that can enhance comfort, resource efficiency and overall sustainability.
Sustainability Knowledge
Our recommendations are informed by publicly available green building guidance, established sustainability practices and building science, together with the information you provide.
This helps RetroAI generate practical, personalised recommendations that are relevant to your building and your sustainability goals.
Recommendation Engine
The final report prioritises recommendations based on their potential impact, helping you understand which improvements may offer the greatest sustainability benefits.
Recommendations are designed to be practical and easy to understand, enabling you to take informed next steps with confidence.
How Recommendations Are Generated
Every recommendation is tailored to your building using AI, the information you provide and recognised sustainability practices.
