INSPIRATION
Buildings consume a huge amount of produced energy as well as contribute to a significant part of carbon emissions.Much of it is from cooling and heating systems in residential and commercial buildings. Climate innovation startups are developing energy consumption monitoring and reduction solutions to improve energy efficiency in built environments.These building management systems (BMSs) allow building managers to optimize power consumption and save costs.Startups also offer grid-independent clean energy generation systems to reduce energy consumption from the grid.
Caeli Energie is a French startup that manufactures low-carbon ACs. The startup utilizes Maisotsenko’s cycle, an evaporative thermodynamic cycle, and a high-performance heat and mass exchanger to develop energy-efficient AC systems.Moreover, Caeli Energie’s solution does not use any refrigerants or outdoor units, eliminating refrigerant leaks and improving convenience.This allows property owners and managers to replace conventional air conditioners with low-cost and sustainable alternatives.
British startup learnd offers a unified BMS. It integrates with existing BMS and other building systems to leverage energy consumption data and identify inefficiencies, such as poor functioning heating systems, of individual buildings and estates.Along with the startup’s BMS platform,learnd partners with component providers to upgrade, maintain, and monitor building systems. This approach enables building
performance-as-a-service for property owners while reducing
building carbon emissions and energy costs.
