The Company serves over 400 commercial and industrial buildings with HVAC solutions and services. It has launched BuildX AI, a new platform designed to improve how building owners and operators interact with their buildings and HVAC systems. Traditionally, the industry focuses on equipment replacement and maintenance cycles, but this approach often lacks efficient data integration and analytics to improve how buildings and HVAC assets are managed. BuildX AI addresses this by connecting with existing equipment and incorporating advanced drone technology and sensors throughout buildings. Asset managers and owners will gain much needed insights and actionable data to improve operations and capital budgeting.
