Alfalfa transforms Building Energy Models (BEMs) into virtual buildings by providing industry standard building control interfaces for interacting with models as they run. From a software engineering perspective, Alfalfa leverages widely adopted open source products and is architected according to best practices for a robust, modular, and scalable architecture.
