Better space for tenants.
Better returns for owners.
R-Zero adjusts ventilation to real occupancy. Tenants get comfortable, healthy space; operators field fewer complaints; and because comfortable tenants stay, every renewed lease protects owners' NOI.
Lower OpEx. Higher NOI.
Stronger asset value.
Energy is one of the largest controllable line items in a commercial portfolio. R-Zero reduces HVAC energy spend directly — verified in your utility bills — and every dollar saved flows straight to NOI.
At a 5% cap rate, $100K in annual energy savings adds $2M to asset value.
Better comfort, verified air quality and fewer complaints.
Temperature complaints are the #1 driver of tenant dissatisfaction — and dissatisfied tenants don't renew. R-Zero doesn't just reduce energy use; it improves how space feels by conditioning occupied zones more precisely and letting unused areas rest.
Your building is never full, your HVAC runs like it is
HVAC accounts for over 50% of your building's total energy consumption — and most of it runs on static schedules set for maximum occupancy. When your floors are at 40% capacity, you're still conditioning for 100%.
R-Zero reads actual headcount in real time and adjusts ventilation automatically — lowering operating costs, easing the daily work of running the building, and protecting asset value.
Less manual intervention, fewer complaints
Cuts HVAC energy use by 20–40%
Works through your existing BMS
No capital approval, no procurement cycle
Every path to efficiency runs through capital.
Except this one.
Physical AI on top of your existing BMS. Verified results in as little as 4 weeks. Paid through shared savings. Compatible with any future capital project.
Effective, but 12–24 months, board-level approval, and tenant disruption. Most portfolios can't fund every building at once.
Solves controls — but your new BMS still ventilates for design occupancy without a sensing layer.
The gap compounds. Costs climb. ESG reporting gaps widen.
How it works
Sense
Wireless sensors deploy across your building, capturing real-time headcount zone by zone. No cameras. No personal data.
Optimize
Connect calculates required outdoor air volume per zone using occupancy, weather, and BMS signals. ASHRAE 62.1-compliant at all times.
Act
Control signals write directly to your existing BMS via BACnet. The loop runs continuously and autonomously.
Save
Every adjustment is logged. Energy savings are calculated against agreed baselines and reported transparently.
)
4-8 weeks from discovery to documented results
R-Zero runs the entire deployment in coordination with your controls contractor. Sensors are ceiling-mounted and unobtrusive — no construction, minimal disruption.
Install
Wireless sensors deploy across your building in days. No downtime, no disruption.
Configure
Software connects to your existing BMS and establishes control sequences.
Audit & validate
Energy baselines are set. Every result measured against agreed data.
Rapid results
AI-powered ventilation goes live. Verified savings delivered.
We only get paid when you save
No upfront cost. No equipment purchase. R-Zero is paid as a share of verified energy cost reduction, measured against agreed baselines, not projections. If savings aren't delivered, you don't pay.
ASHRAE 62.1-compliant. SOC 2 Type II certified
Ventilation never drops below code minimums. LEED IEQ credits supported. Only operational data accessed — headcount, setpoints, energy. No personal data. No surveillance. Full data ownership retained by the building owner.
