Callida Energy- Commercial Clean Tech


CALLIDA USES SMART ALGORITHMS TO MAKE IT SIMPLER TO OPTIMIZE ENERGY IN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AND CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
Buildings consume a tremendous amount of natural resources and are a major contributor to the carbon and water footprints of cities. In the USA, commercial buildings account for 18.4% of energy used and are the fastest growing segment. Building owners are faced with operating cost pressures, the need to provide a healthy work environment, competition from LEED or ENERGY STAR certified properties, new sustainability goals and regulation all driving the need to change.

But their teams lack the right solutions to enable proactive building management. Available tools do not take a predictive approach resulting in missed cost savings and demand response revenue. Building managers rarely tap the advanced control capabilities of their existing building software – let alone incorporate weather forecasts and energy prices into their operating plans to deliver greater savings without compromising occupant comfort.

Callida makes it simpler. The software we are piloting learns building energy use patterns, predicts demand and optimizes energy based on customer preferences automatically.

Callida's SaaS solution is designed to work collaboratively with the facility's BAS system already in place.
