Ecopilot

About

Company Description

Ecopilot Canada delivers AI-driven, real-time HVAC optimization for commercial, institutional, and municipal facilities. While traditional Building Automation Systems (BAS) rely on static, reactive controls, Ecopilot’s iBOS® software evaluates indoor temperatures, weather forecasts, and building thermal mass every two minutes. By continuously adjusting setpoints and preventing simultaneous heating and cooling, Ecopilot works over existing automation systems (e.g., Siemens, Delta, JCI, Niagara) to reduce HVAC energy consumption by up to 40% and cut GHG emissions.

What the AEEA Retrofit Audience Should Know

  1. Software-First, Minimal Intrusiveness: Ecopilot layer-integrates directly onto your existing BAS without requiring capital-intensive hardware replacements or mechanical overhauls.
  2. Fast Payback & Instant Savings: Delivers immediate natural gas and electricity reductions, resulting in typical ROI within 1 to 3 years.
  3. Extends Asset Lifespan: Eliminates equipment short-cycling and optimizes thermal loads, reducing mechanical wear before you consider major capital replacements.
  4. Maintains Occupant Comfort: Uses dynamic thermal storage to eliminate hot/cold complaints and balance temperatures across complex facilities.
  5. Eligible for Alberta Grants: Quantifiable energy savings align with local utility incentives and municipal efficiency funding programs.

Highlights

  • Proven GHG & Energy Reductions: Achieves between 10% – 30% reduction in HVAC energy consumption resulting in immediate, verifiable scope 1 and scope 2 emissions cuts.

  • Global Scale & Track Record: Deployed in over 1,300 commercial, institutional, municipal, and multi-residential facilities worldwide, continuously optimizing tens of millions of square feet.

  • Proprietary Innovation (iBOS®): Patented AI software technology that continuously evaluates real-time weather forecasts, indoor thermal drift, and building thermal storage every 2 minutes to dynamically eliminate simultaneous heating and cooling.

  • Universal BACnet/BAS Integration: Certified seamless software integration across all major Building Automation Systems, including Niagara, Siemens, Johnson Controls (JCI), Delta Controls, and Automated Logic.

  • Rapid ROI & CAPEX Preservation: Software-first retrofit delivery that achieves full project payback within 1 to 3 years without requiring capital replacement of existing mechanical assets or BAS control systems

  • Supports LEED, BOMA Best Certifications: many customers have used our solution to achieve Toby Awards and the BIG-NYC Building Intelligence Group finalist.
