Start your buildings at the right time. Not too early, not too late.
Every day, your HVAC equipment restarts at fixed times. With no regard for weather, building inertia, or actual occupancy. Result: overconsumption and discomfort.
The issue
A schedule often poorly tuned, rarely questioned
- settings rarely adjusted
- no consideration for weather, sunlight, or thermal inertia
- no zone-by-zone adjustments
Result:
- heating or cooling started too early
- equipment running unnecessarily
- discomfort at the start of occupancy
Optimal start is one of the easiest things to optimize… yet one of the least exploited.
Optimal start controllers: 25 years without real evolution
- start-up per building, not per zone
- controls that correct… but don't anticipate
- results that are unstable as soon as weather changes
Result: partial optimization — savings left on the table. The real challenge is simple: start zone by zone But between limited FM time and BMS constraints, it's rarely feasible in practice.
Our approach
Adjust start times every day, zone by zone, with AI
Thermal behavior analysis
- building thermal inertia
- heat-up time
Context awareness
- weather (temperature, sunlight)
- building occupancy
- operating history
Dynamic start time calculation
Every day, the start time is automatically adjusted. Not too early, wasting energy. Not too late, ruining comfort.
What changes
Finer control, lower consumption
- reduce unnecessary run times
- avoid overheating or overcooling
- reduce comfort complaints
- reduce the need for FM adjustments
A simple, fast win — no construction needed.
