The audit-ready agentic layer for energy benchmarking.
Built for building portfolios reporting under Massachusetts BERDO 2.0 and Connecticut benchmarking programs — EUI against regulatory targets, GHG reduction trajectory, and retrofit ROI by comparable buildings.
Buildings emit 37% of global energy-related CO₂[1]Source — [1]IEA, Tracking Clean Energy Progress: Buildings — sector accounts for ~37% of global energy-related CO₂ emissionswww.iea.org/energy-system/buildings. Regulators know it. Lenders know it. LPs know it. What none of them can tell you is whether the kilowatt-hour on your latest utility bill survived OCR without drift, whether the eGRID factor you multiplied it by is the right vintage for the county, or whether the Scope-2 method on this filing is the same one you signed off on last quarter[H]Source — [H]GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance (2015) — market-based and location-based methods (PDF)ghgprotocol.org/sites/default/files/2023-03/Scope%202%20Guidance.pdf.
Aura answers each of those questions, in writing, and leaves the cited evidence behind every answer.

Stats describe the product's engineering posture, not customer count — Aura is in pilot. Market traction belongs on the case-study page when it earns one.

Three rules we don't break

¶ 03Every regulation is encoded from the primary source. We mirror the canonical PDF, version-pin it, and cite the §.

Ingest.
Every kilowatt-hour, with its receipt.
Utility bills, lease abstracts, energy audits, meter feeds, ESPM exports. Two OCR engines vote independently — disagreements queue for human review, never quiet-default.

Intelligence.
Retrofits priced to the dollar, dated to the law.
Each measure is ranked by hold-period-aware ROI, CRREM stranding delta, and emissions impact. Incentives are line-itemized — IRA § 48, § 179D, C-PACE, and local utility rebates priced into the cash flow before the IC ever sees the page. The model recommends; the operator approves.[C]Source — [C]CRREM Risk Assessment Reference Guide, v2 (2023) — Science-based decarbonization pathways for real estatewww.crrem.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/CRREM-Risk-Assessment-Reference-Guide-V2_20_03_2023.pdf

Agent Aura.
An agent that works through approval, not around it.
Claude-powered. Every tool call is gated by an approval token. Two-person rule on filings, on spend over $10k, and on any change to a published number. Every assistant response cites the section, the page, and the version of the regulation it leaned on — or it does not ship.[A]Source — [A]Anthropic Claude — tool use and extended thinking documentationdocs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/overview
The canonical PDF is mirrored, hashed, and indexed. A regulated value cannot leave a compliance package without a @cite annotation pointing back to the section it came from — CI refuses to ship the build. Each tile below opens its source.

§ 05Proof — provenance, not logos
This is what one number looks like on its way to a regulator.
Most platforms put their proof in a logo wall. We put ours in the audit trail. Below is the lifecycle of a single Scope-2 figure — ingestion through filing — exactly as Aura records it. Six steps, each independently citable, each independently replayable.

ASAP Tech LLC has spent the last five-plus years putting data, AI, and cloud platforms into regulated industries — energy and utilities the longest. Aura is the team's opinionated answer to a question they kept being asked: what does an auditable AI workflow actually look like?[P]Source — [P]ASAP Tech LLC — global digital, data, and AI engineering firm; founded 2018; ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified; offices in Chester Springs, PA (USA) and Pune, India.asaptechsys.com/

§ 06Trust — parent posture, product posture
Two stacks of evidence, same standard.
Aura inherits its compliance backbone from ASAPTech, a global digital, data, and AI engineering firm with active ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certifications. Aura's own attestations sit on top — Type I in hand, Type II on the audit path, signed SBOMs per release, HSM-backed envelope keys, BYOK. We say what is shipped and what is on the way, separately.
Drop in a utility bill and a property record. Within 48 hours you'll get a written readiness report against LL97, BERDO 2.0, and CA SB 253 — with §-level citations on every figure and the methodology drawer attached. No pricing wall. No lead-capture theatre. The reply comes from an engineer, signed.
