A new wave of technology companies is transforming how commercial buildings manage their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. These startups are applying artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to tackle the complexities of HVAC optimization, moving beyond traditional control methods to achieve significant energy savings. According to Memoori’s research report, “Energy Management Software for […]

Grid-Interactive Buildings are the inevitable next step in the evolution of energy management for commercial real estate. As urbanization accelerates and energy demands grow, the goal of optimizing energy use now extends beyond cost savings. Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings (GEBs) integration plays a critical role in helping commercial buildings achieve sustainability, improve resource efficiency, and comply […]

Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption is occurring at a much faster rate than previously anticipated, according to December 2023 research by Jung et al, who estimate battery EV fleet sizes are doubling approximately every 15 months. This growth trajectory means that the majority of passenger vehicles in developed markets could be electric by 2031, demanding rapid […]

Here is the recording from the live discussion on our New Research into the Market for Grid-Interactive Buildings! The commercial real estate sector is undergoing a fundamental transformation in how buildings interact with and manage energy resources. Grid-Interactive Buildings are emerging as a critical solution for property owners facing mounting pressures from rising energy costs, stringent […]

The commercial real estate sector is undergoing a fundamental transformation in how buildings interact with and manage energy resources. Grid-Interactive Buildings are emerging as a critical solution for property owners facing mounting pressures from rising energy costs, stringent regulatory requirements, and ambitious carbon reduction targets. Our new research identifies a robust ecosystem of 130 companies […]

Developing technology trends like artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and digital transformation are driving the global demand for data processing and storage to unprecedented levels. As a result, energy-intensive data centers are fast becoming a major energy consumer, due in large part, to cooling systems that account for up to 40% of their total consumption, […]

Globally, only a very small percentage of commercial buildings operate fully integrated, AI-driven, autonomous energy management for HVAC optimization. Our new research estimates that a significant percentage of commercial buildings have no HVAC control whatsoever, while the rest of the market is divided between rule-based control, preset algorithms, and predictive functions, to varying degrees. Together, […]

This Research Note examines what’s behind Schneider Electric’s acquisition of Motivair Corporation, a US manufacturer of liquid cooling solutions for data centers. We review the transaction details, the strategic rationale, the Motivair offering and assess how this acquisition fits into Schneider Electric’s data centers portfolio. Transaction Details Schneider Electric agreed to acquire a 75% controlling […]
