Why EIRA Core Exists

CITIES ARE FULL OF DORMANT SURFACES, BUT DECISIONS ARE STILL MADE WITH fragmented data.

EIRA Core turns urban complexity into an actionable decision: what is possible, where, under what conditions and with what impact.

Hidden Value
Roofs, façades, courtyards and interstitial sites remain invisible as strategic urban assets.
Slow Activation
Feasibility, regulation, design and finance are normally checked one by one, over months.
Regulatory Uncertainty
Owners and cities often do not know what can be done before spending money on studies.

What EIRA Core Does

EIRA CORE READS THE CITY LIKE A layered system.

It combines images, maps, regulations, climate data and expert validation to identify which urban surfaces can become green, social, energetic or habitable infrastructure.

Urban Data
→
Feasibility
→
Action
Satellite and aerial imagery, LiDAR, cadastre, regulation, climate layers, and human expertise — combined into one operating picture.
The output is not a report. It is a ranked, validated shortlist of surfaces ready for investment and design.

The Inputs

EIRA CORE DOES NOT RELY ON ONE DATASET. IT FUSES MULTIPLE urban signals.

Six data families, combined into one operating picture of the city.

Satellite / Aerial Imagery
Shape, exposure, material hints and urban context.
LiDAR / 3D Geometry
Height, slope, shadows and rooftop morphology.
Cadastre + Public Records
Parcel geometry, use, age, floors and ownership logic.
Regulation + Zoning
Planning rules, heritage limits, setbacks and permitted uses.
Climate + Environmental Layers
Heat, water, solar exposure, air quality and biodiversity potential.
Human Expertise
Architects, engineers and planners validate what the model proposes.

The Engine in Three Modules

PREPARE THE CITY DATA, IDENTIFY VIABLE SITES, THEN generate options.

EIRA Core is not only a map. It is a decision pipeline.

1
Multimodal Preprocessor
Cleans, aligns and standardises urban data so different sources can be read together.
2
SiteID Model
Scores each roof or asset by feasibility, constraints, opportunity and impact.
3
EIRA AI Architect
Generates intervention options: green roofs, light infrastructure, energy, water, biodiversity or social uses.

Module 1

MULTIMODAL PREPROCESSOR — the city speaks in different formats.

A unified geospatial data fabric: every roof, building and urban surface can be compared under the same logic — geometry, regulation, climate, use and opportunity.

The "urban MRI" before making any design or investment decision.

1
Collect
Gather all urban data sources into the pipeline.
2
Clean
Remove errors, fill gaps, normalise formats.
3
Align
Match spatial references so all datasets share the same geography.
4
Standardise
Produce a unified surface-ready data fabric for analysis.

Module 2

SITEID — THE FEASIBILITY MODEL. where should we act first?

SiteID scores each roof across four families of criteria. Output: a clear ranking — viable, viable with conditions, or not viable.

Physical Fit
Surface, slope, height, access and shading.
Regulatory Fit
Permitted uses, heritage, setbacks and licences.
Climate Fit
Heat, water, solar and biodiversity potential.
Strategic Fit
Visibility, cost-impact, ESG and portfolio value.

Module 3

EIRA AI ARCHITECT — ONCE A SURFACE IS VIABLE, the system proposes what it could become.

The AI Architect is not a final designer. It is a generator of options that architects, engineers and landscape specialists can evaluate and refine.

Green Roof
Vegetation, biodiversity, shade and water retention.
Light Infrastructure
Pergolas, decks, access, community or workplace use.
Energy + Water
Solar compatibility, irrigation, rain capture and resilience systems.
Hybrid Scenarios
Combinations designed around impact, cost and regulation.

Human-in-the-Loop by Design

EIRA CORE ACCELERATES JUDGEMENT. IT DOES NOT replace professional responsibility.

Essential for public-sector trust, technical liability, safety and quality.

1
Model Suggests
Data-driven options and feasibility scores.
2
Experts Review
Architecture, engineering, legal and landscape validation.
3
Client Decides
Clear go / no-go or scoped concept.
4
Project Learns
Each project improves the dataset and future decisions.

What the User Receives

EIRA CORE TRANSLATES COMPLEXITY INTO A SMALL NUMBER OF useful decisions.

The goal is not more data. The goal is a better decision, faster.

Viability Map
Which surfaces are worth exploring first.
Regulatory Traffic Light
Viable, viable with conditions, or not viable.
Recommended Use
Green roof, solar, light infrastructure, housing, or no activation.
Cost-Impact Estimate
Early CAPEX range, impact potential and strategic priority.

How the Technology is Organised

FOUR LAYERS, FROM RAW CITY DATA TO A client-ready decision.

Cloud infrastructure allows the same method to move from one roof to one district, one portfolio or one city.

1
Ingest
Urban data, imagery, LiDAR, regulation and climate layers enter the system.
2
Process
Data is cleaned, aligned, tiled, embedded and prepared for analysis.
3
Model
AI models combine vision, spatial context, regulation and climate logic.
4
Deploy
Results are delivered through maps, dashboards, reports and APIs.

Why EIRA Core is Defensible

THE VALUE COMPOUNDS WITH EVERY CITY, ASSET AND decision.

EIRA Core is the intelligence layer. AIRE and Living Roofs are its first visible applications in the real city.

Cumulative Data
Each analysed roof improves future comparisons.
Regulatory Memory
Local rules become reusable knowledge across similar cases.
Institutional Integration
Public and private workflows create high switching costs.
Decision Layer
EIRA integrates feasibility, regulation, impact and economics — not only visualisation.

From EIRA Core to Living Roofs

THE ALGORITHM CREATES THE FIRST DECISION; AIRE AND PAISAJES PRESTADOS create the experience.

The public story is simple: data finds the opportunity, design gives it life, measurement proves the value.

EIRA Core
Identifies and ranks the opportunity.
AIRE
Frames the project, impact and coordination.
Paisajes Prestados
Designs the living landscape.
Client / City
Gets a measurable roof asset.

Near-Term Roadmap

A PRACTICAL PATH FROM CORE ENGINE TO deployed urban intelligence.

EIRA Core makes the city computable. Living Roofs makes the first layer visible.

MVP
Madrid neighbourhood test, data pipeline and first SiteID outputs.
Pilot
Roof Scan + Living Roofs pilot connected to design and reporting.
Portfolio
Multi-asset scans for real estate and institutional owners.
City Layer
District-scale opportunity map and urban impact reporting.
