## Products & services

- **AI-driven HVAC control system** — A software platform that layers over existing HVAC and building-management systems to optimize energy use while holding precise environmental conditions. Combines intelligent optimization, BMS integration, IoT data analytics, and automated controls.
- **Intelligent Optimization engine** — Machine-learning algorithms that improve energy efficiency while maintaining required temperature, humidity, and air-quality setpoints.
- **BMS System Integration** — Extracts historical and real-time data from building-management systems to forecast cooling and energy demand.
- **IoT Data Analytics** — Deploys sensors for environmental monitoring and feeds real-time data back into dynamic control adjustments.
- **Automated HVAC Controls** — Automates equipment configuration and sequencing so chillers and air handlers run at optimal set-points without manual intervention.

## Achievements

- Accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch.
- Delivers up to 30% HVAC energy savings for industrial facilities.
- Reduces Scope 2 GHG emissions for manufacturing customers.
- Built an integration approach that works with existing HVAC/BMS hardware rather than requiring replacement.

## Latest updates
