Lighting rep firms
Add HVAC savings to the lighting controls you already sell.
For lighting rep firms and channel partners that sell networked lighting controls
KenergyAI turns the occupancy data in networked lighting controls into HVAC savings, through the building's existing BACnet BMS. Where networked lighting controls are already installed, AI HVAC Controls needs no new hardware, and there is no capital project for your customer.
The opportunity
Your controls already know which rooms are empty. The HVAC doesn't.
Networked lighting controls collect occupancy data in every zone they serve. In most buildings, that data never reaches the HVAC, so heating and cooling keep running in empty rooms on a schedule.
KenergyAI connects the two. The controls you sell, or have already sold, can now drive HVAC savings as well as lighting savings, which gives your customers a second reason to choose networked lighting controls.
How it works for your customers
Three points to bring to every networked lighting controls conversation.
-
Uses the occupancy data your controls already collect.
The networked lighting controls you sell already know which zones are occupied. KenergyAI reads that occupancy data. Where networked lighting controls are in place, AI HVAC Controls needs no new hardware.
-
Acts on HVAC through the BACnet BMS.
When a zone is empty, KenergyAI eases off heating and cooling through the building's BACnet BMS. When people are there, the BMS runs occupied comfort exactly as it does today.
-
AI HVAC Controls is software only. No construction.
No capital project for your customer. Facilities teams can override or switch off KenergyAI for one zone or the whole building from the BMS front end.
AI Occupancy Based HVAC Controls results
Proven on existing networked lighting controls at CSUN Lilac Hall.
- 28% less electricity CSUN Lilac Hall
- 64% less natural gas CSUN Lilac Hall
- About 26 metric tons of CO2e avoided per year CSUN Lilac Hall
AI Occupancy Based HVAC Controls results at CSUN Lilac Hall, measured before and after with our own metered data. Lilac Hall already had networked lighting controls and a BACnet BMS; KenergyAI used the occupancy data those controls already collected, with no new hardware.
Who it's for
Rep firms that sell networked lighting controls.
- Your customers
Campuses and office buildings with networked lighting controls and a BACnet BMS, whether the controls are already installed or part of a current project.
- Your offer
Occupancy-based HVAC savings alongside the lighting controls you already sell. AI HVAC Controls is software only, with no construction and no capital project for your customer.
- Thermostat-served spaces
Thermostat-served spaces can use Thermostat Control with the same lighting control sensors, through a Raspberry Pi gateway. No BACnet or BMS required.
Working with KenergyAI
How we work with lighting rep firms.
KenergyAI is one more scope on the job you are already running. Book an intro call to discuss your lines, territory and customers.
- What you get
A happier customer, better service and a stronger relationship with that customer. The networked lighting controls you deliver now also cut HVAC energy in empty rooms.
- Your customer stays your customer
We handle the HVAC integration alongside the networked lighting controls you already deliver, as one more scope on the job. The customer relationship stays with you.
- What we do
KenergyAI handles the HVAC and lighting integration: connecting occupancy from the lighting controls to the building's BACnet BMS.
- Training and support
Your team gets training, a demo and technical support on customer calls.
- Deployment and support
KenergyAI sets up and tests its own work on the job, and supports your customer after go-live.
- Supported lighting control systems
Works with networked lighting controls that can share occupancy data over BACnet.
Modules you can offer
All four modules are available for you to offer.
You can offer every KenergyAI module to your customers: AI Occupancy Based HVAC Controls, Classroom Schedule + HVAC Integration, Occupancy Based Thermostat Control and Energy Savings & Analytics Dashboard. Deploy one on its own, or combine them.
