# DNA Energy

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

Changing the way companies, energy utilities, policy makers and peers in the sector think about how buildings and energy interact, and in turn how the energy transition can be accelerated.

[Buildings](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/buildings) [Buildings - Enabling Software](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/buildings-enabling-software) [Cohort 24-2](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/cohort-24-2)

##### PROBLEM FOCUS

Energy grids aren’t coping with the energy transition, with buildings being the single biggest problem. Transforming them into smart connected nodes is almost impossibly difficult, so without true asset level interoperability, the energy transition is going to be a whole lot harder.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

DNA Energy offers an OEM agnostic, software and wireless hardware platform that integrates and optimizes distributed energy resources - such as HVAC, solar, batteries, and EV chargers - to manage energy loads and ensure regulatory compliance. DNA customers get real-time visibility and automated control of the equipment that makes their buildings tick, regardless of make, model, how old, how new, how smart, how dumb, where in a building or where in the world they’re located.
