Realize your Building's Potential
Commercial and industrial property owners benefit from measuring their building or unit’s energy use. BuildSense is an all-in-one solution that displays energy use, energy generation, net GHG emissions and intelligent recommendations on energy management through an efficiency tracker. Energy use monitoring feeds into a proprietary algorithm that provides intelligent suggestions on cost-effective building improvements and energy system upgrades. BuildSense connects to your utility usage data, smart thermostat, building management system (BMS) and energy generation devices in a simple and easy-to-use platform. Our predictive algorithms are constantly working to ensure your property is performing at its peak, and presenting you with the best savings opportunities possible along the way.
Our Approach
Commercial buildings are the ideal market to benefit from AI. They are significant energy consumers, and also happen to have limited ways of understanding how their buildings consume their energy, or why they use so much of it. The building owner has no easy way to know what’s happening in his building. For example, in a typical commercial building is it difficult to know that one air conditioner is using twice as much energy as the one across the hall, or that lights are on in rooms that no one uses, or even that one room is heating and cooling at the same time. Big buildings (greater than 200,000 sq ft) have big operating costs, and long term views. Many are large enough to be wisely operated by a team of people, who are in place to service, maintain, and operate the buildings. They also have larger programs to do improvements and manage paybacks. However, these buildings make up only 4% of our buildings. BuildSense fills in the gap by working primarily with buildings less than 200,000 sq ft.
