[Buildings](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/buildings) [Building Software](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/building-software) [Cohort 24-1](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/cohort-24-1) [Buildings - Enabling Software](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/buildings-enabling-software)

##### PROBLEM FOCUS

Apartment building operators need to and want to decarbonize their buildings, but are swamped with immediate operational challenges like energy costs, staffing issues, and insurance risk. Embue drives immediate ROI by tackling those problems and creates a low carbon, grid-interactive smart building.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Embue optimizes HVAC equipment in real time, shifts when energy is used in order to stabilize the grid, and delivers smart alerts to staff critical building issues. These algorithms are fed by 1M data points per apartment per year via Embue's in-building network. A key to Embue's success in multifamily is a user experience that extends from the thermostat to the smartphone, and is designed for the people who live or work in apartment buildings.
