  • What is the general cost of an energy rating?

    Simple energy rating prices vary greatly on the size and type of building, generally an energy rating will cost somewhere between $130 to $700+.

  • What information do I need to supply for an energy rating to be completed??

Frequently-asked questions

We already have ongoing projects. Will Valohai easily integrate with them?

Running existing machine learning projects in Valohai is very simple! Integration only requires adding a valohai.yaml configuration file. Moving projects in and out of Valohai is easy – the integration is only the configuration file.

How do you compare to other data science platforms?

We don’t. Valohai isn’t a data science platform; it's a Machine Learning Management Platform that handles the whole ML pipeline from feature extraction, to training of your model and to deploying it into production in a reproducible manner. Data science platforms offer hosted notebooks and AutoML solutions.

Does Valohai charge for computation?

Depends. Most of our customers use their own cloud and thus pay for usage according to their own agreements. Valohai doesn't charge anything on top of the per-user license fee. If you don't have a cloud provider, you can use our AWS, GCP and Azure accounts, and we'll only charge you for what you use.
