35% HVAC energy savings. Software only, no construction, no changes to your operations.
KenergyAI is software that works with the systems you already have: your HVAC, BMS, thermostats, lighting controls and schedules.

AI Occupancy Based HVAC Controls: 35% HVAC energy savings.
The platform
One platform. Four modules.
Deploy one on its own, or combine them. Results shown on this site are AI HVAC Controls results.

Occupancy AI HVAC Controls
AI Occupancy Based HVAC Controls
AI software that controls your HVAC through your BACnet BMS, using occupancy from networked lighting controls or occupancy sensors.
35% HVAC energy savingsAI HVAC Controls results, measured at CSUN and verified at CSUDH
-
Schedule Schedule + HVAC Integration
Classroom Schedule + HVAC Integration
Connects your classroom or event scheduling system to your HVAC. Software only, no sensors.
-
Thermostat Thermostat Control
Occupancy Based Thermostat Control
Occupancy-based control for thermostat-served spaces, using your lighting control sensors, through a Raspberry Pi gateway.

Dashboard Analytics Dashboard
Energy Savings & Analytics Dashboard
Track, verify and report HVAC energy savings across your buildings.
The problem
Your HVAC runs on a schedule. Your rooms don't.
Classrooms empty out between classes and over breaks. Offices sit dark while people are in meetings or working from home. The BMS still holds tight setpoints in every zone it was told to.
At Lilac Hall, CSUN already had modern lighting controls and a BACnet BMS, and schedules still conditioned empty rooms for hours every day. The gap wasn't technology. It was a connection between real occupancy and HVAC.
Schedule vs. real occupancy
IllustrativeHow the overlay works
Three steps. Software only. No construction. No capital project.
- 01
Connect.
We install KenergyAI on your network and link it to the systems you already run: your BACnet BMS, your lighting controls, occupancy sensors or class schedule.
- 02
Know which rooms are in use.
KenergyAI reads occupancy or your class and event schedules from the data those systems already have.
- 03
Act only on empty space.
When a zone is empty, KenergyAI eases off heating and cooling. When people are there or about to arrive, your BMS runs comfort exactly as it does today.
- Occupied
- Standby
- Unoccupied
Illustrative example: a floor plan showing which spaces are occupied, on standby or unoccupied. Example data from the Analytics Dashboard module.
Facilities stay in control
Your BMS stays in charge. You keep the off switch.
No construction. No capital project. These commitments apply to every KenergyAI module, deployed on its own or combined. AI HVAC Controls and Schedule + HVAC Integration are software only.
- The BMS runs occupied comfort. KenergyAI only acts on empty zones.
- Override or switch off KenergyAI for one VAV or the whole building, from your BMS front end.
- No changes to BMS sequences of operation. Hot/cold call processes stay the same.
- Runs on-prem. No cloud connection required for core operation.

Policy relevance
Benchmarking, BEPS, LL97, Title 24.
If your buildings report to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, face a building performance standard (BEPS) or LL97 limits, or are watching Title 24, HVAC energy is usually the biggest controllable load. KenergyAI reduces it without a construction project.
KenergyAI does not certify compliance; it reduces the energy your buildings use.
