COBNECT LENS

The energy modelling engine behind Cobnect virtual home energy assessments

Cobnect Lens combines building science with physics-informed machine learning to read each home as a connected energy system, turning construction, mechanical systems, and local climate into a clear view of energy use, energy loss, and climate impact

The intelligence behind Cobnect Lens

Deep knowledge of Canadian homes

Built on millions of data points from hundreds of thousands of real Canadian home assessments, Cobnect Lens is trained across every climate zone, construction era, and building type in the country.

Animated visualisation of the Cobnect training data corpus. It shows climate zone coverage across Canada and a breakdown of home types used to train the engine, including single detached, semi-detached, row houses, and apartments. This is a decorative data visualisation.
Animated demonstration of how Cobnect processes a property input. It shows a sample property object being parsed and resolved into derived features such as build era, envelope score, climate exposure, and system efficiency. This is a visual demonstration only.

Starting with what matters

Every assessment starts with the home itself. Type, size, age, heating system, envelope characteristics, and local climate. The details that determine how a home performs.

Grounded in building science

Data tells part of the story. Building science tells the rest. Cobnect Lens is a physics-informed machine learning engine, guided by the physical principles that determine how homes use and lose energy, so every result is grounded in how homes behave.

Animated demonstration of Cobnect's physics engine. It shows the thermal model equations used to calculate heat loss, annual heating load, and carbon output, alongside the solver modules that run in parallel. This is a visual demonstration only and does not represent a specific home's results.

It means Cobnect Lens isn’t just pattern-matching from data. The model is built around the same building-science principles a trained energy advisor uses, like how heat moves through walls, windows, and foundations, how climate affects a building, and how mechanical systems consume energy. Data tells Lens what’s typical; building science tells it why.

Home type, age, size, heating system, key building features, and your local climate zone. These are the inputs that determine how a home performs, the same categories an energy advisor would look at, just collected through a short questionnaire instead of a site visit.

Most homeowners don’t know exact insulation values or air-tightness numbers, and that’s expected. When a detail isn’t provided, Lens uses informed estimates based on the home’s age, type, and region, drawn from patterns across hundreds of thousands of similar homes.

Yes. Cobnect Lens is retrained as our dataset of verified Canadian home assessments grows, so accuracy improves across all climate zones and home types over time, not just for new users.

Yes. Lens works the same way whether you’re assessing a single home or comparing several, each report is generated independently using the same standardized model and inputs.

Your report reflects your home’s details at the time you complete the questionnaire. If your home changes (a renovation, a new heating system), you can run a new assessment to get an updated picture.
