Forecasting
What-If Simulation for Buildings
What-if simulation tests operational changes against live sensor data before you make them — predicting impact on energy, comfort, and equipment.
A what-if simulation is a counterfactual model: given the current state of the building, what would happen if you raised the setpoint by 1°C, or moved the morning warmup window forward by 90 minutes? The model answers with a forecast plus a confidence band, before the change is committed in the real world.
For operators, what-if simulation replaces "we'll try it and see" with "we'll model it and decide". For energy and comfort programmes, it makes interventions reversible on paper before they're irreversible in the building.
Explore's simulation runs on the same engine that produces the day-to-day forecasts, so the answer it gives is grounded in the same sensor history the operator already trusts.
