EcoValuate is a home sustainability assessment and renovation planning tool. Enter a US property address and EcoValuate scrapes real property data, computes a carbon footprint eco-score, and generates a personalized, budget-aware renovation roadmap.

Address → /api/load → InfoPage (review/edit)
       → /api/estimate → ScorePage (eco-score)
       → /api/plan → MapPage (renovation timeline)
       → GraphPage (projections)

1. Address lookup — scrapes property data (size, year built, materials, location) and fetches climate, solar, and grid emissions data
2. Carbon estimate — calculates annual CO₂ from heating/cooling, baseload, and transport; produces a 0–100 eco-score
3. Plan generation — greedily selects renovations within your budget using your chosen priority, then calls Google Gemini for a narrative rationale
4. Visualization — interactive year-by-year action cards and 15-year projection graphs
