Setting up the twin for a facility that already exists

demo data

An existing facility skips Design — Calibrate rebuilds the same ledger from measured geometry, a year of meter readings, and harvest records. From here on, Plan and Operate work the same as for a new build.

Calibration ledger — what was captured, and how well the model fits

The same physics model used for Agadir's design, run backwards: parameters are tuned until modeled monthly energy matches the meter. Deviations flag what the sensors should watch first.

Why this matters
Live sensors don't just monitor — they close the loop on these numbers.
The ±8–14% gaps above are the design assumptions Agadir's business case also leans on (ventilation loads, cycle lengths in a Mediterranean summer). When the Sardinia feed goes live, every week of sensor data tightens both twins: the existing site calibrates the new build. That is the multi-site argument in one sentence.
