R-Zero, the leading smart building platform, is helping commercial real estate leaders respond to challenges like rising operating costs, shifting occupancy patterns, and growing tenant expectations with a fully integrated solution that combines occupancy-based ventilation control, high-efficiency air filtration, live utilization data, and real-time indoor air quality monitoring.
By uniting these capabilities into a single platform, R-Zero helps commercial real estate owners and operators cut HVAC energy costs by up to 30%, extend equipment life, improve tenant experience, and optimize portfolio performance — all without construction, IT burden, or upfront capital investment.
“Operating costs are on the rise, with energy now accounting for as much as 40% of a building’s expenses — and peak demand charges climbing by up to 25%,” said Jennifer Nuckles, CEO at R-Zero. “At the same time, occupancy patterns are shifting and tenant expectations for comfort are higher than ever. Our integrated platform tackles all three challenges, helping commercial real estate leaders — from asset managers to property managers to facilities teams — cut costs, and ultimately, protect net operating income and portfolio value.”
A Smarter, Integrated Approach to Building Efficiency
Traditional static building operations waste energy, strain aging HVAC systems, and leave owners guessing about tenant satisfaction. R-Zero’s platform modernizes operations by combining:
- Occupancy-Based Demand Control Ventilation (O-DCV): Dynamic, real-time ventilation that adjusts airflow based on actual space usage.
- High-Efficiency Filtration: Smart filters that reduce HVAC fan energy by up to 15% and last 2-3X longer than conventional filters.
- Actionable Analytics: Live utilization insights by floor, suite, and tenant help property teams reduce churn risk and plan smarter leasing and capital improvements.
- Continuous Indoor Air Quality Monitoring: Real-time visibility into CO₂, particulate matter, humidity, and temperature levels — giving facilities teams the proof and tools needed to ensure comfortable and compliant environments.
Unlock Operational Savings with O-DCV: In our latest white paper, “Occupancy-Based Demand Control Ventilation: Drive Energy Savings with Smarter Ventilation,” we highlight how integrating dynamic ventilation controls with real-time occupancy data enables properties to achieve fast, measurable operational improvements while supporting energy efficiency.
