BrainBox AI
District , the largest urban innovation hub in North America .
Having launched in 2019 , BrainBox AI ' s cleantech solution is now installed in commercial spaces in 17 countries . The company has responded to this growth by developing a ' follow the sun ' model , opening monitoring centres in Canada , Ireland and Australia . These centres provide real-time analysis of the HVAC systems in buildings , no matter where they are located .
The commercial real estate industry currently faces multiple challenges , from optimising tenant comfort to enhancing the sustainable investment case for its portfolios , all while aiming to reduce energy use .
The International Energy Agency states that , globally , buildings represent 30 % of final energy consumption and almost 55 % of total electricity consumption . With greater demand for electricity , the world needs to embrace sustainable energy management technology to achieve net-zero carbon emissions for buildings .
BrainBox AI ' s deep learning and cloudbased computing algorithms communicate directly with a Building Management System ( BMS ) and optimise the building in real-time . This produces a saving in total energy costs
