# Carbon Signal

##### ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:

Accelerating building decarbonization with scalable, high-fidelity energy intelligence that cuts analysis time from months to minutes.

[Buildings (cooling / heating / envelopes)](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/buildings-cooling-heating-envelopes) [Building Software](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/building-software) [Cohort 25-3](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/cohort-25-3) [Future Industries Partnership](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/future-industries-partnership) [Cohort 25-4](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/cohort-25-4)

##### PROBLEM FOCUS

Most building decarbonization efforts are slowed by costly audits or unreliable data models. We deliver trusted, scalable energy intelligence without site visits or sub-metered data.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

A physics-based, auto-calibrated energy modeling platform that uses only monthly utility data to explain energy use, identify savings opportunities, and simulate decarbonization pathways—no audits, sub-metering, or manual inputs required.
