We just hit SOTA on the standard physics-ML benchmark (Navier-Stokes 2D turbulence):
Edviro research is building world models that understand and operate energy infrastructure. Buildings are our first deployment environment.
We started with the NS2D benchmark because fluid dynamics underpins many energy systems, including airflow and industrial processes.
The goal was to rethink fundamental architectural choices. Instead of asking a neural network to learn the entire PDE update, we analytically solve the linear component and train the network only on the nonlinear increment.
The results: we hit 0.0305 (± 0.000079) across three independent seeds. Applying symmetry-averaged inference further reduces error to 0.02969 at 2x inference costs. Against code released claims, we beat them by 36.9%.
If you’re working on operator learning, physics ML, controls, or operate large-scale energy systems, we’d love to talk.
We just built world models that can simulate anything in a building (to save billions in energy costs)
Across the country, schools alone spend $8B on their utilities. This is air conditioning, lights, heater — all the things we take for granted. But over 30% is wasted on inefficiencies like poor scheduling, equipment failures, or things as simple as leaving the HVAC running.
Compounding this is that facilities staff are overworked and have to deal with archaic software that doesn’t talk to one another, maintenance issues that are hard to triage, and obscure bills that are difficult to verify.
Me and @KsTanuj founded @Edviro_energy to solve this problem. The company started when I was 17, and a teacher handed me a year of district utility bills to analyze for a project. I built software to parse them and discovered PG&E had been overbilling the school on gas, about $360,000 for that year. Today, Edviro has helped other schools save hundreds of thousands of dollars on their utility bills.
Edviro integrates with BMS, utility, and sensor systems, continuously monitors buildings, simulates fixes (and upgrades) before touching anything, and puts the best option in front of the facilities manager for one-click approval + action. Plus, our models help construction teams with the baselining and M&V to ensure project success.
