Run buildings that run themselves
A local AI watches every system in the building around the clock, weighs energy cost, comfort and ESG targets against each other and runs the moves that lower operating cost. The facilities team stays in control the whole way.
100% local Works offline Explainable decisions Keeps your BMS
On-Device AgentRuns 100% locally on your hardwareOccupancy and accessForestHub for commercial real estate is a local decision layer that sits on top of the existing building management system, PLCs and sensors. It optimizes energy, operating cost, comfort and ESG reporting at the same time, runs entirely on the owner's own hardware with no cloud, and keeps working when the internet drops. It does not replace the BMS. It adds an intelligent layer that coordinates existing systems toward operating cost and ESG goals.
Buildings run on schedules, not intelligence
A commercial building has hundreds of adjustable variables across HVAC, lighting, access and metering, and they sit in silos. Fixed schedules cannot react to occupancy or power price. Today each system optimizes for itself. Nobody optimizes the whole operation against operating cost and ESG.
Rising operating cost
Energy and maintenance dominate net operating income, and fixed schedules cannot react to occupancy or power price in time.
ESG under scrutiny
Owners have to report and cut emissions, but the data sits in silos spread across systems and sites.
Portfolios do not scale
Every building is tuned by hand, and the expertise does not spread across the portfolio.
Observe, plan and act, on your own hardware
The agent reads the sensors continuously, weighs the trade offs against the operator's targets and drives the systems that are already installed. It plans ahead instead of only reacting, and it explains every move in plain language.
- 1
Look ahead
Tomorrow the building fills up by 8 and power is expensive at midday. The agent pre cools overnight while power is cheap, trims HVAC in empty zones and shifts load off the peak.
- 2
Balance every goal at once
It lowers energy and operating cost, holds comfort in occupied space, keeps peak demand under the limit and captures the data ESG reporting needs, not one target after another.
- 3
Explain and stay in control
Ask why it pre cooled and it answers in plain language. Every decision is logged and auditable, and the facilities team sets the guardrails and can override any action.
On-Device AgentOccupancy and accessOperate for net operating income
Owners do not buy a smart building. They buy a number that moves. The agent optimizes the metrics that move net operating income and the ESG report. The ranges below come from independent studies for this technology category.
One agent, the whole building
Energy and operating cost
Volatile power prices and half empty floors drain net operating income. The agent pre cools off peak, trims HVAC and lighting in empty zones and shifts load off the demand peak, without touching comfort in occupied space.
Safety and security
It fuses access, occupancy and camera signals to catch an open door, a blocked exit or an after hours intrusion in seconds, and every event lands in a complete audit trail.
Autonomous operations
Fault detection, tenant comfort tickets and metering run continuously. The agent spots a drifting chiller or an over ventilated floor before it shows up on the bill and opens a work order.
Audit trail and registry
Every decision, override and sub agent is logged with its reason. An agent registry shows exactly what runs on each building, which matters when owners answer to investors and regulators.
Vision and industrial bus
On device cameras with computer vision read occupancy and safety, and Modbus and OPC-UA connect the BMS, meters and PLCs already installed. Robotics and actuators plug in where they exist.
Fleet across the portfolio
Tower B runs on less energy than Tower A. The fleet view finds that strategy and rolls it out across the portfolio from one place, with OTA updates to every building.
See the agent run a building like yours
Independent studies report the ranges above. The real figure for a specific portfolio gets measured in a pilot, never guessed.
Book a working demo
See the decision layer coordinate HVAC, lighting and metering on a building like yours, then start a pilot and measure the real numbers with the team in control.
Request a pilotYour data never leaves the building
The agent runs entirely on the owner's own hardware. No cloud, no tenant or building data leaving the site, and it keeps optimizing even when the internet drops. Every action is logged and auditable, which matters when the operation answers to investors and regulators.
- 100% local, no cloud dependency
- Keeps optimizing through internet outages
- Works with the existing BMS, PLCs and meters
- Full audit trail of every decision
- Explainable, not a black box
- Designed for EU Cyber Resilience Act readiness
Questions building owners ask
Do we have to replace our building management system?
No. The agent adds a decision layer on top of the existing BMS, PLCs and sensors. It coordinates what is already installed toward operating cost and ESG goals, and full manual control stays with the facilities team.
Does it run without internet?
Yes. Everything runs locally on your own hardware, so the agent keeps optimizing during outages and no tenant or building data ever leaves the site.
How much can we actually save?
Independent studies for this category report ranges for building energy and ROI, plus Deloitte for asset availability and maintenance cost. We do not promise a fixed number. The real figure gets measured in a pilot.
Can it help with ESG reporting?
Yes. The agent captures energy and emissions data locally and produces auditable metering and consumption reports, and the data stays on your hardware.
How does it explain its decisions?
Ask why it pre cooled or shifted load and it answers in plain language, backed by a full audit log. The team sets the guardrails and can override any action at any time.
Does it work across a portfolio?
Yes. A fleet view compares buildings, finds the best strategy and rolls it out across the portfolio from one place with OTA.
Put a building operations expert in every building
Start a pilot on one building, measure the real numbers on the existing systems and energy contract, and keep the facilities team in control the whole way.

- 1Energy: NREL analysis reported via 75F, up to about 31% building energy from smart automation. Results depend on the building and get validated in a pilot.
- 2ROI: commissioned Forrester Total Economic Impact study via JCI OpenBlue, up to about 155% ROI over three years. Depends on portfolio size and starting point, validated in a pilot.
- 3Availability and maintenance: Deloitte predictive maintenance analysis, plus 10 to 20% asset availability and minus 5 to 10% maintenance cost. Strongly asset and baseline dependent, measured in a pilot.
