Continuous Building Savings
Your HVAC is leaking
money. Every month.
One gateway plugs into the BMS you already have,
delivering a continuously updated, ROI-ranked audit.
No capital outlay. Your team stays in control.
Savings you can capture, ranked by OpEx reduction
A continuous view of where your building wastes energy, cost reductions from each fix, and which improvements deliver the fastest payback.
Fixing these inefficiencies also extends equipment life and eases occupant complaints.
Recover savings with zero capital
Many of the highest-value fixes are setpoint changes you approve with no new equipment or retrofit.
Ranked by annual savings
Every finding is ranked by estimated annual savings, allowing you to prioritize fixes.
Invest only when it's justified
Capital projects are recommended only when the projected savings justify the spend, complete with expected payback.
Build lasting value
Recovered dollars strengthen the long-term value of every building, improving operating performance and increasing asset value.
Heating & cooling set too close
Across these zones the heating and cooling are set so close together that the system keeps flipping between them instead of coasting — wasting energy and wearing the equipment.
Recommended action
R-Zero recommends widening the gap between the heating and cooling targets to at least 5°F so they stop short-cycling. It’s a settings change — no hardware, no site visit.
Running when the building's empty
These units keep heating and cooling well beyond the building's occupied hours — conditioning space when no one is there.
Recommended action
R-Zero recommends loading your real occupied schedule into the controls and adding overnight and weekend setbacks so these units stop running while the building is empty.
Outdoor-air vent stuck open
An outdoor-air vent is physically stuck wide open, so the system conditions outside air all day instead of recirculating.
Recommended action
A vendor inspects and frees or replaces the stuck damper actuator so the vent can modulate with its command again.
One device. Continuous savings across your building.
Continuous Building Savings is built on R-Zero's Physical AI platform.
The gateway installs on your building network in hours and starts finding savings continuously. No new HVAC hardware. No rip-and-replace. No truck roll.
Connect once
One compact gateway connects to your building network with no rewiring or new equipment.
Read existing systems securely
The gateway securely connects to your existing BMS over BACnet/IP and streams outbound-only, encrypted, to the R-Zero cloud.
Prioritize opportunities
R-Zero weighs every opportunity by dollar impact and delivers an ROI-ranked report, with no-capital operational changes first and capital repairs supported by projected savings and expected payback.
Approve and capture savings
R-Zero recommends setpoints to fix your system. Capital repairs come recommended and budget-ready for your team to plan.
Your monthly savings report
See where your building is losing money, which opportunities deserve attention now, and what can wait. Most fixes require no capital. The rest include the information you need to plan ahead.
Every flagged opportunity is backed by raw equipment data. Proof your team can verify, and that utility programs accept for rebates.

Aligned to your savings,
not our revenue
Most building vendors make money when you buy equipment or book service hours. R-Zero doesn't. Every recommendation is driven by your financial return, not ours.
Independent recommendations
We don't sell the equipment or profit from service calls, so every recommendation is prioritized by the value it delivers only to you.
No upsell conflict
You'll never be pushed toward capital spend. Just impartial recommendations, made only when the savings clearly justify them.
Vendor-neutral
Works alongside your existing BMS, regardless of controls brand.
Portfolio-wide
Analyze your entire portfolio through one neutral lens, with consistent reporting and prioritization across every property.
Built for your IT and OT security review
Outbound-only by design. The gateway clears an enterprise security review with minimal lift.
Prove it on your building
No capital outlay, no upfront cost, your team in control the whole way.
Projected savings become measured savings.

Built for your IT and OT security review
Outbound-only by design. The gateway clears an enterprise security review with minimal lift.
No inbound connections
No ports opened to external sources, minimizing attack surface and simplifying firewall approval. Outbound only, TLS, over standard ports.
Bounded writes
Every write sits below operator priority, is clamped to commissioned limits, auto-releases on loss of communication, and has a manual kill switch.
Fixes only on your approval
The gateway writes a setpoint only after your team approves it.

Over-conditioning for current occupancy
Rooms are getting far more conditioned air than the people in them need.
Why it's costing you
minimum airflow was tuned for a fuller building. The gap between the air you're delivering and how full the space actually is — that's energy you pay for that nobody uses.
The fix
R-Zero recommends trimming minimum-airflow setpoints to match real-time occupancy, room by room, within safe limits. Immediate. No cost to recover.
The cost of waiting keeps going up. We recover it.
The cost of energy and repairs rise every year. The longer fixes get deferred, the more energy is wasted, while the bill to catch up compounds.
Energy prices are rising.
Commercial power is up 27% since 2020.Repair costs are rising.
HVAC repair contractor prices are up 32% since 2020.Maintenance gets deferred.
The U.S. now carries a $500B+ facility repair backlog, compounding roughly 3–5% a year.
Continuous Building Savings breaks the cycle, and every dollar you recover works twice.
For owners who lease, savings flow straight to NOI. At a 6% cap rate, each $1/yr saved adds about $17 in asset value.
For owners who operate, every recovered dollar becomes permanent budget for care, research, and paying down the backlog.
