Runwise provides a wireless smart‑building platform that consolidates heating, cooling, and safety monitoring (flood, gas, smoke) into a single cloud‑based system. Battery‑powered mesh sensors feed real‑time data to a central hub that runs analytics for HVAC optimization, fault detection, and predictive maintenance, with alerts delivered via web dashboard, SMS, and mobile app. The solution installs in a day without wiring and is offered on a subscription model tied to verified energy savings.

Problem
Conventional building control systems rely on extensive wiring, multiple proprietary devices, and lengthy installation, which drives up capital costs and delays energy‑efficiency upgrades. Without integrated monitoring, leaks, gas hazards, and equipment failures often go undetected, leading to higher utility bills, compliance fines, and safety risks.
Solution
Runwise delivers a single, wireless smart‑building platform that unifies heating, cooling, and safety detection (flood, gas, toilet, smoke/fire) under one cloud‑based control system. Wireless sensors communicate with a central hub that runs real‑time analytics and optimization algorithms, automatically adjusting HVAC setpoints and flagging anomalies. Installation is completed in a day or less, eliminating the need for trenching or extensive retrofits. Facility managers access a secure web dashboard that provides live equipment status, alert notifications, and downloadable savings reports for regulatory compliance. The platform supports utility rebate identification and integrates with existing building management workflows. Customers begin with zero upfront hardware cost and pay via subscription or usage‑based fees aligned with verified energy savings.
Target Audience
The primary customers are property owners, facilities managers, and engineering teams responsible for multi‑unit residential, commercial, and institutional buildings that need to reduce energy consumption, meet safety regulations, and simplify building‑system management.
