How an engagement runs

Portfolio analysis

One pass across a portfolio using the real data you hold on each building: a screening model and a short brief per building, fund and owner rollups, a phased program, and a portfolio report. A problem with one building is noted on its row; it does not stop the run.

The expert decides once, at the start: the building list, the rates, and how carbon links to value. After that the run is automatic, because the value of a portfolio pass is that it finishes.

The specialists

Each one has a single job. They work from shared files, hand back what they found, and never speak to you directly. Everything comes back through the lead agent.

Asset screener

An energy position and building profile for every building at portfolio speed, each tagged with how confident we are.

Tools: resstock, comstock, building-science, bpd, energy-star, brave-search

Compliance screener

Carbon target and local penalty exposure per building, fetched by region and type but calculated individually.

Tools: crrem-skills, cambium, bps-compliance

Retrofit advisor

The measure list per group and per building, plus the install schedule.

Tools: measure, costing, incentives, utility_rates

Portfolio economist

One calculation across the whole set: returns per building and in aggregate, with your share of savings kept separate from the total.

Tools: cashflow

Report writer

The portfolio report, plus a brief per building built from the saved model. Rollups are sums of the rows beneath them.

Tools: soapbox-agent, xlsx_templater

Quality reviewer

Recalculates across the batch. One bad building is a note on its row; only a portfolio-wide problem stops the report.

Tools: cashflow, crrem-skills, bpd

When it is not clear-cut

The lead agent never improvises. Each of these is decided the same way every time.

Is this the right pass?

If You hold almost no data per building: Retrofit prioritization instead

If not Continue here

Can a building be screened?

If Its baseline holds up: Screen it

If not Marked not screened. The run continues

Does a measure clear the bar?

If It beats your hurdle rate: Recommended

If not Below the bar, unless a regulation requires it

A problem is found

If It affects one building: Note it on that row and carry on

If not If it affects the whole portfolio, stop the report
