TEPO, or Trento Energy Portfolio Optimizer, is a civic decision-support tool developed in an academic context at the University of Trento. It is designed to help users explore portfolios of energy-efficiency improvements for municipal buildings. The platform presents a demonstration catalog of buildings and candidate interventions, including estimated annual savings, energy consumption reductions and avoided carbon dioxide emissions.

Users can configure a scenario by setting a budget, choosing an objective and applying constraints to eligible projects. TEPO then uses an OR-Tools CP-SAT optimization model to propose a feasible portfolio. The workflow supports reviewing the proposal, comparing alternative scenarios under the same criteria and testing how selections change as the budget varies.

The tool emphasizes that optimization supports, rather than replaces, public decision-making: the AI or solver proposes options, while people compare them and the municipality retains responsibility for the final choice. The site identifies its dataset as synthetic demo data, not real information from the Municipality of Trento, and provides sections for scenario building, results, sensitivity analysis, buildings, interventions and mapping
