Energy management for commercial buildings

Energy management for commercial buildings, turned into a ranked decision queue.

FrostLogic Explore reads the BMS, meters and sensors your offices and mixed-use sites already run, then hands the property or energy team one short, ranked list of what's wasting energy, drifting out of comfort, or slipping on EPBD compliance — across the whole portfolio. Not a dashboard per building.

The problem

One building is a control system. A portfolio is a blind spot.

Energy management for commercial buildings breaks at scale. A single office already produces more telemetry than its facilities team can read — HVAC, metering, lighting and air quality all at once. Multiply that across a property portfolio and the picture disappears: each building has its own BMS, the energy manager has a spreadsheet that arrives a month late, and the only signals that travel fast are the bad ones — a tenant complaint, a half-year energy bill that jumped, an EPBD inspection that's suddenly close.

FrostLogic Explore starts from the decision, not the dashboard. It reads the same BMS, meter and sensor feeds every building already has and rolls them into one ranked queue across the whole portfolio — every anomaly scored, classified, and tied to a building and a suggested action. The property team opens one ordered list of where to act first; each building's operator still sees its own.

It's read-only, it's grounded in each building's own history, and comfort is weighed against energy — because a saving that pushes a floor out of its comfort band isn't a saving, it's a complaint. That's the difference between a folder of dashboards nobody reads and one decision queue for the estate.

This is FrostLogic's energy management software, focused on commercial property — offices, mixed-use and the portfolios that run them.

What it does

Four engines, every building in one queue.

Energy-waste detection

Setpoint drift, simultaneous heating and cooling, after-hours runtime and equipment left on — the quiet waste that doesn't trip an alarm but compounds across the estate. Surfaced per building, scored by impact.

Tenant comfort

Temperature, CO₂ and humidity watched against each space's target band alongside energy — so a saving is only flagged when it won't push a zone out of comfort, and a comfort drift is caught before it becomes a complaint.

EPBD & BACS compliance

Continuous evidence for the building automation and monitoring the EPBD and EN ISO 52120 (BACS) framework expects, scored against thresholds as it happens. When the inspector asks — for any building — the report is one click away.

Forecasting & what-if

Demand and consumption forecast with confidence bounds, and a what-if simulation to test a setpoint or schedule change against each building's own history — before you touch the controls, not after the bill arrives.

Commercial building energy management across the whole portfolio, in one ranked queue — grounded in the telemetry your buildings already collect.

At a glance

Built to drop into the buildings you already run.

No rip-and-replace, no new field hardware in the common case. Explore connects read-only over the protocols your BMS already speaks, processes data in the EU, and returns its first ranked findings within the first week — adding a building is a connection, not a project.

How it works

Read, reason, rank.

01 · Read

From every building's systems

A read-only feed from each building's BMS, meters and sensors over BACnet, Modbus and OPC UA. Nothing is written back; nothing is ripped out.

02 · Reason

Grounded per building

Six detection methods, forecasting with confidence bounds and benchmarking normalised by area, use and hours run over each building's own history — so every conclusion traces back to a signal and a building.

03 · Rank

One queue for the estate

Every issue scored, classified and ordered by impact across the portfolio, with a suggested action. The property team acts on what matters first — not building by building.

Before you ask

The questions property teams ask first.

An energy management system for commercial buildings — sometimes called a building energy management system (BEMS) — collects energy, BMS and sensor data from a building to cut waste and keep it compliant and comfortable. FrostLogic Explore goes past dashboards: it ranks what to act on, weighs each saving against comfort, and explains why.

Both. FrostLogic rolls every connected building into one portfolio view and ranks issues by impact, so a property or energy team sees the whole estate in one ordered queue while each building's operator still sees its own. Adding a building is a connection, not a new deployment.

No. FrostLogic reads from the BMS, controllers, meters and sensors you already run over BACnet, Modbus and OPC UA. The connection is read-only by default, so nothing is written back to your equipment and you keep the building automation you already operate.

It continuously checks the building automation behaviour the EPBD and EN ISO 52120 (BACS) framework expects — monitoring, benchmarking against the building's own performance and flagging where control is drifting from intent. Evidence is scored as it happens and exports on request, so an inspection is a download, not a fire drill.

Comfort is a first-class signal, not an afterthought. Explore watches temperature, CO₂ and humidity against each space's target band alongside energy, so it surfaces waste that can be cut without pushing a zone out of comfort — and flags a comfort drift before it becomes a tenant complaint.

First ranked findings typically surface within the first week of connecting a read-only feed, because Explore learns from each building's own historical telemetry rather than waiting for a long baselining period.
