We provide automated feedback and technical analysis to help optimize the energy and environmental performance of large, complex buildings.
Our Story
Buildings Alive helps many of the world’s leading owners, operators and occupiers of commercial and institutional real estate achieve their energy and environmental efficiency goals.
Buildings Alive was launched in November 2012 to broaden the impact of an influential study that showed how leading-edge data science, building science and behavioral science could combine to optimize the energy and environmental performance of buildings.
Our value proposition is centered on ‘results’, and we support carbon reduction and environmental programs at hundreds of large office buildings, shopping malls, academic buildings, laboratories and other complex buildings throughout Australia, North America and Europe.
We work with many of the world’s leading owners, operators and occupiers of commercial and institutional real estate, helping them achieve positive cashflow from their environmental programs with no up-front costs, no capital investment, no lock-in contracts, and guaranteed results. But our contribution goes much further than that. Many of our clients, like us, are deeply committed to emissions reduction strategies that go beyond ‘net zero’ and target 24/7 Carbon Free Energy (CFE). Buildings Alive’s goal is to support the complete decarbonization of electricity networks globally to limit climate change. Our technology is transforming the energy ‘system’ by empowering buildings to be grid-interactive, flexible, and zero-carbon-ready… buildings capable of dynamically tuning their energy demand to cut emissions, cut operating costs, and enhance indoor environmental quality.
