The situation

The most expensive decisions are made before anything is calculated.

Too slow

Simulation takes weeks. The decision comes first.

Too few

Specialists are scarce. The best are stuck in groundwork instead of judgement.

Too uncertain

Without a calculation the safety margin stays — and somebody pays for it for thirty years.

The answer

Hans, the AI engineer by OPTIMUSE.

From data to model

PDF drawings and spreadsheets become the digital twin.

Calculating like an engineer

Energy simulation, daylight, airflow, plant — with reference solvers such as EnergyPlus.

Variants across every trade

The alternatives side by side: comfort, energy, cost.

Design, evidence, operation

From the plant concept through the energy certificate to the retrofit scenario — new build and existing stock alike.

You ask. Hans calculates. You decide.

How it works

Three steps to an answer.

  1. Ask

    Upload documents, ask: “Is 210 kW enough?”

  2. Calculate

    Hans builds the model and works through the variants.

  3. Decide

    The answer sits in the 3D model, every assumption open.

Who it is for

What Hans calculates for you.

Two designers reviewing documents at a meeting table

Project developers

“What will this building cost over 20 years?” → Capex and opex as variants, before the bank decides.

Site team in helmets and hi-vis vests framed by a doorway

Main contractors

“What does one more variant cost?” → Three MEP variants in a single day. Fewer variations.

Office building at dusk — existing stock for energy simulation

Asset managers

“Where is my asset losing money?” → Actual against target, per asset — prioritised across the portfolio.

Designers and engineers

“Who does the modelling?” → Hans the groundwork, you the judgement — and the signature.

Two routes

Two ways to Hans.

Hands-free · full service Our engineering team takes on the whole commission: defines the questions, assesses the results, signs the energy certificates. Checked results that OPTIMUSE stands behind. Hands-on · self service You work with Hans directly — in the browser, no training. Checking and deciding stay with you. Billed by use, no minimum term.

Both routes lead to the same calculation; you can switch at any time.

Why it holds

Hans does not estimate.

Reference solvers

The same tools as in engineering design and expert reports.

EnergyPlusRadianceOpenFOAMModelica

Open assumptions

Every figure carries its method, origin and limits.

Clear limits

Where something cannot be calculated reliably, Hans says so.

Human judgement

For certifiable results a person decides.

Demo

Turn it yourself.

Drag with the mouse or a finger to turn the model. It cycles on its own through the building, thermal zones, technical systems and photovoltaics.

Questions

What we are asked most often.

Do I have to learn a piece of software?

No. There is no software to learn, no licence, no training. Access through the browser: you ask a question, the answer arrives in the building model.

My documents are incomplete and old. Is that enough?

Yes. We start with whatever exists — scanned drawings included. PDF documents become a calculable model in three to five days, and the confidence of every assumption is stated.

What does Hans calculate with?

With established reference solvers: EnergyPlus for thermal simulation, Radiance for light, OpenFOAM for airflow, Modelica for plant. Every calculation path can be followed, every assumption edited.

Does this replace my engineer?

Hans takes on the groundwork that used to need a commission of its own: building the model, running variants, documenting. Assessment and decision stay with the professional — Hans gives them the basis for it.

Which project stage is this for?

All of them: design, evidence and operation. New build and existing stock — from the first variant to the retrofit pathway.

What does it cost?

Premium in packages by number of projects, Direct by use — per building and per question, with no minimum term. You see the prices before you book.

What can Hans not do?

Detailed design, bills of quantities, and final responsibility. Results are a checked basis for a decision — the decision itself is made by a person.

How quickly do I get a result?

Depending on the question and the data: simple variants in hours, a complete model from PDF drawings in three to five working days.

What does early access mean?

We are starting with a limited number of projects. Everyone who signs up is unlocked in turn. We discuss your first question in the introductory call. There is no cost and no obligation.

Be among the first to calculate with Hans.

Places are limited. Sign up — we will be in touch as soon as your access is ready.

No obligation · nothing to install · your data stays yours
