Language Interface for Net Zero Innovation (LINZI)

Net Zero创新语言接口(LINZI)旨在彻底改变住宅和商业建筑业主对其建筑的NetZero过渡的规划方式。目前，这些过渡需要全面了解建筑结构、电力和供暖、建筑使用以及多种成本因素。尽管存在各种技术解决方案，但它们往往缺乏用户友好性和可及性。它们主要是由工程师和架构师构建的，由于具有大量的数据需求和非常结构化的界面，因此对常规使用造成了障碍。临子的与众不同之处在于其创新的方法：一个自然的对话界面，简化了Net Zero建筑改装上复杂的决策空间。它将减少那些考虑净零建筑改进的人所经历的障碍-最佳选择是什么？总共要花多少钱？投资回报是什么？利用最新的语言模型技术，临子为业主提供了一个互动平台。我们的创新之处在于将工程、供应链和经济模型的复杂性转化为用户友好和引人入胜的界面。与面对铺天盖地的数据需求不同，临泽使用公共数据库(如EPC证书、调查、卫星)来减少需要收集的信息量，并引导用户完成收集过程，优先处理所需信息。临济专为外行设计，降低了获取高质量信息的进入门槛，推动了公民参与。最初，它将与NQM开发的Retrofit Financial Analyst Engine(Frace)集成。该项目将进一步探索与其他NetZero评估工具的兼容性。最终，临济有潜力改变我们处理NetZero过渡的方式，使它们更容易获得、更吸引人和每个人都能理解。如果它成功，我们相信这种模式有更广泛的应用潜力。例如，与NetZero一起提供运输和废物建议，但也为地方当局提供的其他前端服务提供建议。

Language Interface for Net Zero Innovation (LINZI) aims to revolutionise how domestic and commercial building owners plan for the NetZero transition of their buildings.Currently, these transitions require a comprehensive understanding of the building fabric, power and heating supply, building usage, and a multitude of cost factors. Although various technical solutions exist, they often lack user-friendliness and accessibility. They are largely built by engineers and architects and create a barrier to general use by having large data requirements and a very structured interface. What sets LINZI apart is its innovative approach: a naturalistic conversational interface that simplifies the complex decision space on Net Zero building refit. It will reduce the barrier that is experience by those considering Net Zero building improvements - what is the best option? How much will it cost? And what is the return on investment?Leveraging the latest language model techniques, LINZI offers an interactive platform for building owners. Our innovation lies in translating the complexity of engineering, supply chain, and economic modelling into a user-friendly and engaging interface. Instead of confronting users with overwhelming requests for data, LINZI uses public databases (e.g. EPC certificates, surveys, Satellite) to reduce the amount of information that needs gathering, and guides users through the process, prioritising the information needed.Designed for laypeople, LINZI lowers the barrier of entry to access high-quality information, driving citizen engagement.Initially, it will integrate with the Retrofit Financial Analysis engine (FRACE) developed by NQM. The project will further explore compatibility with other NetZero evaluation tools. Ultimately, LINZI has the potential to transform how we approach NetZero transitions, making them more accessible, engaging, and understandable for everyone.Should it be successful, we believe this model has potential for broader application. E.g transport and waste recommendations with NetZero, but also for other front end services provided by local authorities.
