How It Works
How We Simplify Lighting and HVAC Integration
Step 1: Install & Configure
We set up the KenergyAI software on your building’s existing system. If networked lighting controls aren’t available, we provide standalone occupancy sensors to ensure full coverage.
Step 2: Collect & Predict
KenergyAI collects real-time occupancy data and uses advanced machine learning to predict space usage. The software automatically adjusts HVAC performance, heating and cooling only the spaces that are occupied.
Step 3: Optimize & Save
Through our intuitive dashboard, you can monitor real-time energy performance and track verified savings as they happen. On average, buildings achieve 30%+ HVAC energy savings with zero sacrifice to comfort.
Features & Benefits
A software-only solution that scales with your portfolio and unlocks massive utility savings
Software Only, AI Powered
KenergyAI is 100% software, no construction, hardware retrofits, or changes to your building systems required. We simply layer onto what you already have, instantly unlocking the power of occupancy data and AI to optimize HVAC performance. The result: seamless integration, zero disruption, and immediate energy savings.
Real Savings, Rapid Payback
Because KenergyAI is software only, projects avoid costly retrofits and hardware expenses. That means lower upfront costs, bigger utility rebates, and a faster path to profitability. Most customers achieve payback in less than one year, while continuing to capture significant annual savings year after year.
Seamless Integration, Zero Disruption
KenergyAI fits effortlessly into your building operations. Our software integrates directly with existing BMS and with other building systems without requiring changes to infrastructure or workflows. The result is a smooth deployment that enhances efficiency while leaving your current systems and operations untouched.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of lighting systems or occupancy sensors does Kenergy work with?
Kenergy integrates with all major networked lighting systems and all networked occupancy sensors. While BACnet is not required, it is highly recommended for most installations.
What kinds of HVAC systems does Kenergy work with?
Kenergy typically works with most BACNet enabled HVAC systems and certain smart thermostats such as Nest, Ecobee and Pelican thermostats.
Can I see the results in real-time?
Yes! Energy savings begin within days.
How does Kenergy’s machine learning improve energy savings?
Our software continuously analyzes data patterns and optimizes HVAC performance for maximum efficiency. This enables our software to create setbacks much larger than the typical two degree setbacks resulting in much greater energy savings in the double digits without sacrificing comfort.
What is the payback?
If networked lighting controls or networked occupancy sensors are already installed, the payback is several months and includes fees for Kenergy software. If networked lighting sensors need to be installed then the payback can range from 1-2 years depending on energy costs and labor to install the networked occupancy sensors.
What if I don’t have occupancy sensors?
No problem, KenergyAI works with or without existing occupancy sensors. If your building already has networked lighting controls or sensors, our software integrates directly with them. If not, we can provide low-cost, wireless, self-powered sensors that are quick to install and require no wiring or infrastructure changes. This ensures every building can benefit from real-time occupancy data and achieve the same 30%+ HVAC energy savings.
