Nantum OS by Prescriptive Data Named Sustainability Product of the Year
New York—September 7, 2022—The Business Intelligence Group has named Prescriptive Data’s Nantum OS as Sustainability Product of the Year in the 2022 Sustainability Awards program. The Sustainability Awards honor people, teams and organizations who have made sustainability an integral part of their business practice or overall mission.
“We are proud to reward and recognize Prescriptive Data for their sustainability efforts,” said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “It was clear to our judges that their vision and strategy will continue to deliver results toward a cleaner, more sustainable world.”
With the building sector accounting for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, working towards achieving net-zero emissions in the property sector is one of the world’s highest priorities. In commercial real estate, energy management is made more difficult by the fact landlords have little control over how energy is used. Roughly 60-80% of the energy consumed by a building is attributable to tenant spaces, yet telling tenants how to use energy to be more sustainable creates problems and is often a lease violation. Nantum overcomes these challenges by automating energy conservation measures in tenant spaces while maintaining comfort parameters detailed in the lease. This is done primarily by using AI to match daily operational parameters more closely with real-time occupancy and usage.
Commercial real estate leaders are choosing Nantum OS to spearhead sustainability efforts. JPMorgan Chase has made Nantum OS their sustainability AI tool across their global real estate assets. In New York City, Nantum OS is helping Boston Properties, Brookfield, RXR, and other owners comply with Local Law 97. In Boston, Nantum OS is helping Blackstone’s EQ Office comply with local carbon regulations known as BERDO. In Washington D.C., Nantum OS is helping MetLife, Jamestown, Tower Companies and others comply with local regulations known as BEPS.
“Our proven decarbonization technology is ready to move the commercial office sector forward, turning the world’s greatest assets into allies in the fight against climate change, instead of some of the worst offenders,” said Sonu Panda, Prescriptive Data CEO. “With Nantum OS, building owners and operators finally have access to the data they need to optimize daily operations that drive higher valuations and more competitive leasing, creating an economical process to decarbonize entire portfolios. ”
One of the basic ways Nantum OS achieves energy conservation measures is through command and control of HVAC systems tied into occupancy sensors. Nantum OS correlates occupancy with HVAC use, controlling fans and dampers as needed to maintain comfort. Nantum OS’ AI learns daily building patterns so it’s able to anticipate arrivals and departures from spaces, ramping up the entire building in time for the day’s first arrival and ramping it down to save emissions as soon as it's able at the day’s end. Trimming HVAC energy usage through real-time occupancy-based audits measured against daily use patterns not only generates significant carbon savings but results in fewer hot and cold calls from tenants who can never seem to get the thermostat right.
Automated demand management (ADM) and demand response (ADR) enabled by Nantum allows buildings to communicate with the grid. When grid strain spikes and real-time electricity prices rise, Nantum OS's ADM capabilities utilize machine-learning models and edge computing strategies to flatten peak demand and reduce operating costs. Through ADM/ADR, Nantum OS is addressing the growing interoperability needs of buildings at a system level, at a portfolio level, and with the utility grid. Buildings empowered with Nantum ADR/ADM help protect the grid when needed most, ensuring access to energy for all when extreme heat or cold strikes.
Prescriptive Data is leading the property sector towards a greener future, one that continues to enhance the health, safety and productivity of occupants and surrounding communities. Nantum OS’ proven technology is unlocking a sustainable future for commercial real estate.
About Prescriptive Data’s Nantum OS:
Nantum OS is an artificial intelligence and machine learning climate technology designed for commercial real estate operators and sustainability managers. Nantum OS allows real estate managers to visualize building HVAC systems, metering systems, people counting systems, IoT devices (air quality, lighting, shade, smart glass), distributed energy systems (battery storage, fuel cells, on-site generation equipment, solar), and third-party datasets in real time. Nantum OS uses real-time AI/ML algorithms to reduce building energy demand, suppress carbon emissions, and shrink utility costs. Each building on Nantum OS uses the least amount of energy and carbon emissions while delivering the maximum amount of health and comfort to occupied spaces.
