Yes. There are several analytics platforms aimed at helping commercial buildings cut energy use by optimizing HVAC, lighting, equipment scheduling, and overall operations. A few examples:

  • BrainBox AI – Uses AI to optimize HVAC operations in commercial buildings, often focused on reducing energy consumption and improving comfort.
  • Atrius (by Acuity Brands) – Building analytics and IoT platform with energy management and operational insights.
  • GridPoint – Energy management platform for commercial buildings, with analytics for HVAC, refrigeration, lighting, and other systems.
  • SkySpark – Analytics platform for fault detection and diagnostics in buildings, helping identify wasted energy and operational issues.
  • CopperTree Analytics – Building performance analytics with fault detection and energy optimization.
  • WattTime / carbon-aware tools – More focused on emissions-aware energy use than building ops specifically, but sometimes used in larger portfolio strategies.

Common features these platforms provide:

  • Fault detection and diagnostics
  • HVAC optimization
  • Energy benchmarking
  • Equipment scheduling insights
  • Portfolio-level performance tracking
  • Emissions and utility cost reduction insights

If you want, I can also narrow this down by:

  1. size of building/portfolio,
  2. HVAC-focused vs whole-building analytics, or
  3. software that integrates with specific BMS systems.
