Description

Embue's Super™ building management platform gives owners and managers of multifamily buildings real time information, monitoring and control of their building’s equipment and indoor environment, from the central plant to individual apartments. This platform is used in conjunction with Embue smart thermostats, sensors, and devices.

Use Cases

  • have better visibility into real-time electricity use at a building

  • have better visibility into real-time water use at a building

  • helps to lower the upfront and/or ongoing costs of electrification

  • reduce building energy/utility costs

  • optimize the usage of my HVAC equipment

  • better visibility into real-time utility use at a building,

  • regulate indoor temperature (its too hot or too cold)

  • provide unit level temperature control and visibility

  • provide building level temperature control and visibility

  • improve/upgrade my HVAC system

  • anticipate issues to my equipment (e.g. HVAC) before they happen (preventative maintenance)

  • avoid refrigerant leaks in a building/portfolio

Key Differentiators

  • Building-wide monitoring and control - Embue’s thermostat operates on a private Zigbee wireless network and does not rely on resident Wi-Fi. It integrates with the Embue platform to monitor comfort and system performance, generate alerts, and support both short-term operations and long-term planning. While many standalone smart thermostats function at the individual apartment level, Embue provides building-wide monitoring and coordinated control across units.

  • In-unit and central system coordination - Many central plant optimization tools focus primarily on boilers, chillers, and pumps. Embue extends monitoring and control to in-unit equipment, enabling coordination between central systems and apartment-level devices. This approach allows building operators to assess system performance and load management across both plant and unit levels without relying on a separate Building Management System (BMS).

  • Deeper, more consistent data insights - Some boiler monitoring systems rely on data from a limited number of apartments to assess system performance. Embue provides sensing and control across all units, supporting broader comfort monitoring, fault detection, and equipment performance analysis. This system-wide coverage enables more consistent data collection and operational oversight
