Carnot Innovations aims to be the brain behind a truly smart building. Our ground-breaking software platform enables persistent optimization of commercial building operational performance.

Existing practices for maintenance of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems in commercial buildings are inefficient and outdated. Each commercial building (~10-15 floors, 75,000 GFA) on an average loses over 350,000 USD every year in energy and maintenance costs.

We use advanced Machine Learning algorithms to predict failures on HVAC mechanical equipment and our actionable insights empower facility managers to perform targeted defect rectifications at optimal times. We are the first to enable AI based Continuous Commissioning and we generate over 20% savings in total Energy costs (approximately 200,000 in addition to Maintenance savings and increased equipment life.
