Lower HVAC operating costs. Keep your team in control.

Energia AI is an AI control platform for commercial HVAC. It learns your building’s response to weather, occupancy and control changes. Start with a measured pilot within your team’s operating limits.

Discuss a pilot
Street level view across an intersection to the corner of a pale stone office building in late afternoon sun. Its west face is lit warm, street trees line the sidewalk and offices are lit behind the windows.

What a pilot aims to improve

Lower operating costs
Find avoidable heating and cooling costs, then measure whether an agreed control change reduces them.
Comfort for occupants
Evaluate energy use alongside occupied comfort, within the operating limits your team approves.
Less routine adjustment
Target repeated manual adjustments and check whether approved control changes reduce that work.

The load on your building changes by the hour.

This example shows how predictive control could help as weather and occupancy change.

Possible control action

Time the morning start around expected arrivals and how quickly each zone heats or cools.

The same building from a rooftop across the street at early morning: both visible faces in cool shade, pale sky, a few rooms lit.

Before anyone arrives

What changes

The building is empty. The forecast shows a warm afternoon.

Possible control action

Adjust occupied zones within approved comfort limits, subject to ventilation requirements verified with your engineer.

Midmorning from the same rooftop: sun on the south face, the west face in shade, offices lit on every floor.

Floors fill up

What changes

People arrive, and the morning sun moves onto the south face.

Possible control action

Plan cooling before the sun reaches the west rooms, aiming to avoid an afternoon comfort problem.

Midafternoon from the same rooftop: low sun full on the west face, long tree shadows across the sidewalk, the south face in raking light.

Sun on the west glass

What changes

West windows catch the afternoon sun. Those rooms gain heat fastest.

Possible control action

Move empty rooms to an agreed unoccupied range while keeping occupied rooms within their approved limits.

Dusk from the same rooftop: a darkening blue sky, street lights on, and only some floors still lit.

The building empties

What changes

Most people have gone home. A few rooms are still in use.

It starts with a model of your building.

Energia AI learns how your building responds to weather, occupancy and HVAC changes, using available plans and operating data.

The first floor seen from above, cut just below the ceiling: rows of desks along the west and south windows, a dark central core, and stripes of afternoon sun falling through the west glass. Outlines mark the west, corner, south and interior zones. West zone Corner South zone Interior West zone Corner South zone Interior
The dark area is the building core. Outlines divide the floor into zones. The fine grid represents the control volumes used to calculate heat flow.
  1. Model

    Available plans, equipment details and trend history inform a model of building response. The scope depends on the control issue and data available.

  2. Train

    The AI practices across simulated weather and occupancy to prepare control strategies. Simulation results are not a guarantee of savings in your building.

  3. Control

    The learned building response helps evaluate adaptive HVAC setpoints. We agree permitted changes and verify limits with your engineer and BMS provider before equipment control.

Your team sets the limits.

Your team approves the operating boundaries and can review control changes. Before control begins, we verify permissions, manual override and fallback with your engineer and existing controls provider.

Setpoint range
We agree permitted setpoint ranges and verify the heating and cooling deadband with your engineer.
Fresh air
We agree ventilation requirements with your engineer and verify how the pilot will preserve them.
Equipment
We agree equipment limits and permitted changes with your facilities team and controls provider.
Fallback
We test the return to existing controls and manual override on site, including connection loss and unreliable readings.
Life safety
We verify the pilot’s control boundaries against your site’s fire, smoke and critical equipment protections.
Your BMS
We assess BACnet or Modbus compatibility, available points and access permissions with your existing provider before committing to a pilot.

A pilot for a real operating issue.

HVAC running beyond occupancy, recurring manual adjustments or unexplained energy use? Start with an existing commercial building with compatible central controls.

  1. Review the building

    With your engineer and existing controls provider, review equipment fit, available data, metering and who pays and retains the bill savings.

  2. Agree the pilot

    Choose a bounded operating issue. Agree the baseline, comfort and operating limits, control permissions and what the pilot must prove.

  3. Measure the result

    Use a suitable field comparison that accounts for weather and occupancy. Evaluate cost and comfort together over a period suited to the building.

Questions

Which buildings is Energia AI for?

Existing commercial buildings with central HVAC controls. We review the operating issue, equipment, data and access with your engineer to confirm fit before a pilot.

How much could my building save?

Savings must be established by a measured pilot, accounting for weather, occupancy and energy prices. We assess cost and comfort together. Simulated savings are preparation, not measured field savings.

What data do you need?

We review available plans, equipment details, BMS points and trends, meter data and occupancy schedules. Integration and any additional requirements are assessed with your existing provider before commitment.

Can operators take control back?

Your team retains control authority. Before enabling equipment control, we agree approvals and visibility, then verify manual override and fallback on site with your engineer and existing controls provider.

What does a pilot include?

A building review, an agreed operating issue and baseline, verified control permissions and a field comparison of cost and comfort. Scope, measurement period and responsibilities are agreed with your team before starting.

Start with one building.

We’ll review a costly operating issue with you and your engineer, check compatibility and agree what a measured pilot would need to prove.
