Energy Efficiency Estimator MCP Connector for Claude

🏠 Residential Energy Efficiency Assessment

The cost of maintaining an inefficient home is high, stemming from continuous thermal losses and poor material performance. Before investing in major renovations, understanding the structural weakness points of your building envelope is critical.

The Problem: Standard energy audits are often broad or expensive to execute. Homeowners need a quick, precise assessment that pinpoints why their home loses energy--is it the walls, the windows, or the roof? They require an actionable score and prioritized fix list.

The Mechanism (How It Works): This service analyzes key building envelope properties (like U-values, wall thickness, and window SHGC) to calculate a Thermal Performance Index. Our system uses three specialized tools:

1. query_structure_thermal_score: Calculates the raw thermal index based on overall component metrics.
2. query_orientation_bias: Adjusts the score by assessing passive solar gain/loss based on your home's cardinal orientation (e.g., South-facing vs. North-facing).
3. query_improvement_recommendations: Takes the resulting A-E classification and provides a prioritized list of actionable upgrades, telling you exactly what to fix.

The Advantage: You receive an immediate, quantified energy rating (A-E) and a clear roadmap for improvement--a true blueprint for efficiency that prevents overspending on ineffective fixes. It connects raw structural data directly to measurable savings.
