Vulcan Analyst

model: gpt-5.5 · ready

/Users/baziyer/rust-hem-runner

A workspace agent for HEM model investigation.

Analyst checks model inputs, validates geometry and thermal bridges, retrieves HEM and Vulcan references, and helps drive scenario analysis.

Validate model inputs

Catch missing areas, host-wall issues, invalid CSV rows, and other input problems before comparing results.

Create and validate thermal bridges

Generate thermal-bridge proposals, check junction lengths, and validate heat-loss paths.

Prepare HEM inputs

Convert geometry CSVs into HEM-ready JSON with approval-gated writes.

Run scenario simulations

Run approved scenario simulations and track model status.

Summarise result metrics

Pull out demand, HLP, and other key outputs from completed results.

Compare model inputs

Find which assumptions changed between baseline and updated designs.

Explain demand changes

Separate real performance movement from geometry issues, input changes, and modelling errors.

Explain HEM methodology

Explain how HEM treats ventilation, heating systems, gains, losses, thermal mass, and other model mechanics.

Retrieve HEM guidance

Find the relevant HEM guidance, papers, and technical references for the question being asked.

Trace Vulcan implementation

Connect answers back to Vulcan functions and source code when behaviour needs to be verified.

Use Analyst directly, or bring Vulcan tools into your own AI client.

Vulcan Analyst

Use the prebuilt agent when you want guided model investigation: ask a question, let Analyst choose the relevant checks, and review the evidence it used.
