Where the savings come from

Six levers, one supervisory platform.

01

Schedule discipline

Zones running outside of occupied hours are the first and largest source of waste. Centralized schedules with hard lockouts eliminate it.

02

Setpoint caps

Cap how cold a zone can be set during peak hours. A 1 °C tighter setpoint band typically saves 5–8% of HVAC energy.

03

Occupancy-aware modes

Where occupancy data is available, drop unoccupied zones to setback and recover ahead of arrival.

04

Runaway detection

Detect units operating outside normal envelope — drifted into permanent-on, stuck damper pulling air against itself, or a sensor reporting outside calibrated range.

05

Demand response

Pre-cool during off-peak, coast through peak tariffs. Where DR signals are available, respond automatically.

06

Reporting + tariffs

Energy by zone, by floor, by tenant. Export to your tariff engine. Pin savings against a baseline.

Typical payback

12–24 months for most multi-zone deployments.

Multi-zone office and commercial buildings typically recover the install cost in 12–24 months from energy savings alone, before counting reduced facility-management overhead or extended equipment life. Each engagement is accompanied by a written savings model with the site's actual operating profile, not a theoretical projection.

How we baseline

Measured, not assumed.

Two to four weeks of pre-install measurement — interval-meter data where available, otherwise zone-level run-hours and active-time data captured by the on-site server during a non-intrusive observation period. Post-install, the same metric on the same calendar period. Weather-normalised where it materially affects the comparison. No theoretical models. No assumed savings.
