This guide is for energy leads and operations teams evaluating R-Zero. It outlines how our platform delivers measurable HVAC energy savings—not through expensive capital upgrades or disruptive equipment replacements, but by intelligently reducing airflow where it’s not needed and improving the efficiency of air movement through smarter filtration. Static schedules vs CO₂ vs occupancy-driven control […]

When people first learn about R-Zero’s platform, they often have smart, valid questions, and a few common concerns. Some are based on past experiences with other systems. Others come from how building operations used to work. This FAQ is here to give you clear, straightforward answers. Just helpful context on how R-Zero fits into your […]

Whatever your reason for installing indoor air quality sensors — whether you’re focused on improving or proving air quality, or validating HVAC energy savings or filter upgrades — IAQ sensors are only as useful as where you place them. The right positioning ensures you’re capturing meaningful, occupant-relevant data, not just system metrics. This helps: Even […]

At this year’s Data Center World, where the industry’s most transformative technologies took center stage, R-Zero earned top honors in the Innovation Challenge, with our high-efficiency filtration solution recognized as the “Most Disruptive Technology.” This award is a testament to our commitment of advancing building performance: driving down HVAC energy consumption and elevating air quality […]

Overview: Real-Time Occupancy Intelligence That Drives Energy Savings The R-Zero BACnet Gateway enables real-time HVAC optimization by translating sensor-level occupancy data into actionable building control signals—directly within your existing BMS. This is the key enabler of our “data-only” optimization strategy, delivering energy savings with no construction, no IT headaches, and no disruption to tenant comfort. […]

If you’re exploring an energy savings pilot with R-Zero, here’s what your teams need to know: how it works, what’s involved, how it compares to traditional systems, and how it creates value for asset, operations, and facilities leaders — fast and without disruption. First, what is O-DCV? Occupancy-Driven Demand Control Ventilation (O-DCV) uses real-time occupancy […]

In today’s commercial buildings, striking the perfect balance between energy efficiency, cost savings, and occupant comfort can feel like an impossible task. But innovative technologies like Occupancy-Based Demand Control Ventilation (O-DCV) are changing the game by aligning building operations with real-time occupancy patterns. Let’s dive into what O-DCV is, how it works, and why it’s […]

Ensuring optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings is essential for maintaining a comfortable and effective work environment.  Poor IAQ levels can lead to a range of issues for employees, impacting comfort, productivity, and well-being. One effective way to improve indoor air quality and ensure the efficient operation of HVAC systems is through the use […]
