Problem
Commercial real estate owners and managers often face high utility expenses and limited visibility into energy waste, which depresses net operating income (NOI) and tenant satisfaction. Identifying, implementing, and monetizing efficiency upgrades across large portfolios is time‑consuming and requires specialized engineering expertise.
Solution
Centinel offers a data‑driven platform that turns utility waste into a revenue source for commercial buildings. By ingesting address, square footage, and equipment data, the Insight module provides actionable analytics on energy trends and cost‑saving opportunities. The Discover module recommends HVAC and lighting projects with contractor bids and projected savings, typically delivering a 60% return on cost. Centinel’s engineers guide implementation and use real‑time fault detection to ensure projects remain effective. Finally, the Monetize service shares a portion of the realized savings with building owners, generating $20k‑$60k of new annual income without altering existing lease structures.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial real estate owners, investors, and property management firms managing multi‑building portfolios that seek to improve NOI, ESG performance, and tenant satisfaction.
