DaisyChain Energy’s AI-enabled platform, Electric Load Orchestra, makes it simple for building owners to integrate and manage whole-building electric loads. The platform controls distributed assets — such as batteries, EV chargers, and electrified heating systems — and gives building owners the real-time visibility needed to optimize load, submeter their properties cost-effectively, and reduce utility costs. Because the platform monitors and controls loads, it also unlocks participation in demand response and Virtual Power Plant programs, creating new revenue streams for building owners and making it easier to electrify systems like heating while improving overall energy performance.

- Energy usage simplified - The AI-enabled platform is designed to take the stress out of managing a building's electric load, integrating distributed assets - New cash flows + cost savings - The platform generates cashflows through submetering and demand response participation. It also unlocks electricity cost savings - Deep New York expertise - DaisyChain leverages its unique expertise in navigating Public Service Commission approval for metering upgrades in New York to enable submetering and energy arbitrage - Future-proofed - DaisyChain installs top-of-the-line equipment and provides guidance on new technologies to ensure buildings are able to easily integrate next-gen energy infrastructure - Non-disruptive installation - Access to individual apartments is not required for installation, minimizing tenant disruption

- Lower the upfront or ongoing costs of electrification - Generate demand response revenue - Reduce building energy/utility costs - Gain better visibility into real-time electricity use - Submeter building cost effectively - Electrify and finance heating, adding EV chargers, or other upgrades - Access accurate ROI scenario planning for future electrification upgrades

DaisyChain's platform can save building owners up to $400/unit/year. A typical building will save between 20-40% on energy bills. Savings may increase as DaisyChain adds features that allow load-shifting, peak-shaving, and demand response revenue generation.

DaisyChain Energy's platform helps building owners decarbonize and meet Local Law 97 compliance by lowering the cost of investing in electrification and generating new renvenue streams.

Both existing building retrofits and new construction.

Works with any multifamily building.

Multifamily buildings where residents are directly metered for electricity.

25 occupied apartment units for optimal load aggregation.

Typically 50 dwelling units or more. The larger the better (large building or part of a large portfolio).

DaisyChain works with EPCs to (a) replace individual utility meters with submeters that measure electricity usage for each resident and to install a central building-level master meter to aggregate data and enable billing at a commercial rate, and (b) install solar panels, EV chargers, energy storage systems and heat pumps.

DaisyChain works with approved local installers.

For new projects, DaisyChain conducts an initial assessment and planning phase to support the process. Meters are installed in a basement or hall meter closet. Access to individual apartments is NOT required.

Very minimal disruption. All the work happens in the basement or hall meter closets. No access to individual units is required. Residents are required by law to be notified when a building is switching to submetering, and DaisyChain assists buildings in carrying out these communications with explanatory materials and decks. Once all the equipment is installed and the master meter is in place, there is a brief one to two hour window during the switchover to submeters when residents are without electricity.

Tenants see a change in who is sending them their utility bills. Tenants pay the utility bills to the property owner or co-op. Real-time data from metering and monitoring allows for smarter decisions for maintenance and upgrades, resulting in greater reliability and comfort for residents.

While the platform does not align with direct incentives, DaisyChain’s project finance offering readily layers incentives and rebates for the direct benefit of the property owner, including but not limited to AMEEP, NYCleanHeat, NY-SUN, Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), NYC Solar Electric Generating Systems Tax Abatement, and Charge Ready NY 2.0.

For a typical submetering project, upfront costs are $500 - 700/unit. Because of the savings/cashflows generated from submetering, the payback is usually quick — 2 to 4 years. DaisyChain can provide upfront financing through a self-amoritizing loan.

Ongoing costs are the licensing fees to DaisyChain for access to the platform, which are typically ~20% of the revenue generated by DaisyChain for the building. Maintenance costs for meters is low (maximum of hundreds of dollars per year).

Real-time data from metering and monitoring allows for smarter decisions for maintenance and upgrades, resulting in greater reliability and comfort for residents. DaisyChain operation and maintenance is included in the service fee. DaisyChain provides ongoing customer service and support for as long as the platform is being utilized in the building.

DaisyChain conducts rigorous testing to ensure all systems are functioning efficiently. Residents are onboarded with resources explaining their new billing process, energy usage insights, and available cost-saving opportunities.

DaisyChain provides ongoing customer service and support for as long as the platform is being utilized in the building.

DaisyChain's platform can provide analytics to building owners and can analyze data across an entire multi-building portfolio. Building residents can access current consumption and billing data, historical data, previous bills, and other analytics.
