An advanced home energy intelligence platform designed to give every home a clearer view of its energy performance.
It looks at each home’s unique property details, mechanical systems, and local climate data to generate a clear, easy-to-understand report on energy use, carbon impact, and overall performance
Built on millions of data points drawn from hundreds of thousands of verified Canadian home assessments, Cobnect Lens carries deep knowledge of homes across every climate zone, construction era, and building type in the country.
Every assessment starts with the home itself. Type, size, age, heating system, building features, and local climate. The details that actually determine how a home performs.
Data tells part of the story. Building science tells the rest. Cobnect Lens is a physics-informed machine learning platform, guided by the physical principles that determine how homes use and lose energy, so every result is grounded in how homes actually behave.
91% average accuracy on key energy estimation tasks
Same reliability. Delivered virtually in seconds.
One home or an entire housing portfolio.
Our models grow more accurate as our dataset grows.
See exactly where your home loses heat and drives up costs. We show you which areas waste the most money, so you know where to invest for real savings instead of guessing and hoping.
Replacing your furnace? Adding insulation? Planning a major upgrade? Know which improvements will actually pay off before you spend a dollar. Stop wasting money on changes that don’t deliver.
Traditional assessments cost CA$500-600, and you might find out you’re not eligible for rebates after paying. Get an estimate first to know if you qualify before investing in the full process.
Energy-efficient homes sell for more and sell faster. When you’re ready to list, you’ll have the documentation buyers want to see: proof that your home performs, not just promises.
Energy prices aren’t going down. Find out how exposed your home is to rate hikes and aging systems, so you can prepare strategically instead of scrambling when costs spike or systems fail.
Find out why certain rooms feel drafty, stuffy, or never the right temperature. We identify what’s making your home uncomfortable so you can fix the real problems, not just symptoms.
Real estate moves fast, and clients have endless options. Energy performance data is information most professionals can’t provide yet. When you show up with insights about how a home performs, its carbon footprint, and sustainability score, you’re answering questions that matter more to buyers every year.
When buyers want to know heating costs, asking sellers for their bills feels personal, and those numbers don’t even tell the right story. They reflect personal usage patterns, not the home’s performance. Show energy data based on the property, not someone else’s private consumption.
Comparing five listings for a client? Pull energy data on all of them in minutes instead of waiting weeks for individual assessments. Help clients make decisions faster by showing them which properties are worth pursuing and which ones hide expensive problems.
When you’re pricing a listing or advising on an offer, back it up with energy data. A home that looks premium but bleeds heat? That’s leverage in negotiations. An efficient home in a competitive market? That’s a selling point worth money.
You get accurate energy performance data for every property you manage, instantly and without site visits. You can see the complete picture of energy use, operating costs, emissions, and climate risk across your portfolio, so you can make faster decisions, stay compliant, and plan with confidence.
Every property gets evaluated the same way through our structured, physics-informed model. This gives you a consistent dataset you can rely on for forecasting risk, planning electrification, modeling resilience, and tracking your long-term GHG reduction progress.
You can see which homes are the least efficient, consuming the most energy, or producing the highest emissions, and understand exactly why. This helps you prioritize where to invest, which incentives to offer, and how to adjust underwriting, so you can focus resources where they create the most measurable impact.
Traditional audits, on-site inspections, fragmented data, and slow intake processes add cost and friction. You can automate property screening, climate-risk evaluation, and upgrade targeting at scale. This reduces operational costs while accelerating your progress on GHG commitments, resilience goals, and portfolio performance.
Cobnect Lens is Cobnect’s virtual home energy assessment platform, designed to turn complex home performance data into a clear, comprehensive report. By analyzing a home’s physical characteristics, mechanical systems, and location, it helps users understand how the property is likely performing from an energy perspective. Instead of relying on rough averages or generalized assumptions, Cobnect Lens provides a more tailored view of energy use, carbon impact, heat loss patterns, benchmark position, and the areas most likely to need attention.
At the core of Cobnect Lens is a physics-informed machine learning system developed specifically for residential housing. Its models are trained on millions of data points drawn from hundreds of thousands of verified Canadian home assessments, enabling the system to learn from large-scale housing and energy-performance patterns. It examines factors such as home type, floor area, year built, heating system, key building features, and local climate conditions, then uses those patterns to estimate how the home is likely performing. What makes this approach especially valuable is that it is not based on data alone. Cobnect Lens is also informed by the physical principles that shape how homes actually use and lose energy, including climate, insulation, building design, and mechanical systems. This is what makes the model physics informed. By combining building-science logic with advanced machine learning, Cobnect Lens moves beyond one-size-fits-all assumptions and generates a more grounded, property-specific view of performance.
The output of Cobnect Lens is a clear, structured report designed to turn technical complexity into practical understanding. Each report covers:
Energy Rating: an EnerGuide-aligned energy rating that places the home’s overall performance into a single, standardized context.
Energy Use: Estimated annual energy consumption in gigajoules, broken down by fuel type. Derived from the home’s physical attributes and local climate data, not billing history or self-reported estimates.
Heat Loss Breakdown: Estimated heat loss across major building components, including walls, windows, ceiling, and foundation helping highlight where the biggest losses are likely concentrated.
Carbon Emissions: Annual greenhouse gas output in tonnes of CO2 equivalent, calculated from predicted energy use and local fuel emissions factors. A clear, honest measure of the home’s environmental footprint.
Utility Cost Estimate: Predicted annual energy cost based on estimated consumption and local utility pricing, helping translate technical performance into everyday relevance.
Benchmark Comparison: How the home compares against similar Canadian homes built in the same era and operating in the same climate zone. Context that makes every other number in the report more meaningful.
In internal validation, Cobnect Lens has achieved around 91% average accuracy on key energy estimation tasks when compared with on-site assessments conducted by energy advisors. This gives users a highly reliable, data-driven estimate of home performance, delivered virtually and in seconds rather than through the cost and delay of a traditional in-person process. As with any virtual assessment, results can vary depending on the home and the quality of the available input data, and no model can capture every site-specific detail. For that reason, Cobnect Lens is best understood as a highly informed and scalable assessment tool that provides strong predictive reliability while making professional-grade home energy insight far more accessible.
Cobnect Lens was designed to be useful wherever home energy performance matters.
Homeowners use it to understand what their home costs to run and where the losses are concentrated. Home buyers use it to assess a property before committing to a purchase.
Real estate professionals and brokerages use it to answer the energy questions their clients are already asking, while also adding credible, valuable performance insight to their listings. It helps their properties stand out in the market by offering a deeper layer of information that most other listings do not provide.
Utilities, municipalities, and program administrators use it to assess housing stock at scale, prioritize retrofit outreach, and measure program impact without dispatching auditors to every door.
Because Cobnect Lens operates virtually and processes assessments in seconds, it fits into any workflow, at any scale.
A few details about your home is all it takes. We’ll handle the rest and show you exactly how your home is really performing.
