The energy audit,
alive.
SEU does the analytical core of a £50,000 energy audit in an afternoon — a living digital twin of a GMP facility, calibrated to its meters, that regenerates a board-ready, standards-grade decarbonisation analysis on demand. The consultant spends the week on judgement, not spreadsheets.
The problem
Every regulated manufacturer now has to decarbonise — CSRD, ISO 50001, SBTi. The audit that tells them how costs tens of thousands, takes weeks of a consultant on-site, and is obsolete the day a chiller is swapped. The model lives in a slide deck, not in the plant.
The product
SEU is a physics-grounded digital twin of the facility's utilities — built on IAPWS-IF97 steam, ASHRAE psychrometrics, AHRI chillers. Describe the plant; it stands up the model, runs 8,760-hour analytics, isolates the Significant Energy Users, ranks the savings by NPV, and assembles the full ISO 50001 / TCFD audit. On demand. Regenerable.
Proof — from a live model, not a mock-up
Every claim in this brief is computed live from a loaded model — open one before the meeting and this section fills with the actual savings, carbon and NPV the tool found.
Why now
CSRD reporting is mandatory for large EU firms from FY2025; ISO 50001 is increasingly a customer requirement; energy prices and SBTi commitments have made utilities a board-level line. The demand for defensible, repeatable decarbonisation analysis is structural and growing — and the supply is still humans with spreadsheets.
Wedge & expansion
Land a single site with a self-funding audit; expand across the manufacturer's plant estate. The twin becomes the system of record for energy and carbon — every retrofit, every M&V cycle runs through it. Switching cost compounds with every verified saving.
Why it's hard to copy
This is not a dashboard over a spreadsheet. The engine implements published thermodynamic and energy-management standards, is deterministic and reproducible, and produces audit-grade output every figure of which traces to a named source. The depth is the moat — and it compounds as the twin accumulates a plant's operating history.
