Problem

Commercial buildings face serious challenges in relation to heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) due to the complex nature of Building Management Systems and the limits of human operators. This leads to energy-waste and poor indoor climate, causing long term health issues.

SOLUTION

By applying an AI-powered Digital Operator, R8 Technology is able to radically improve the climate comfort, energy savings and sustainability impact of larger, premium class commercial buildings.

The R8 Digital Operator is an award-winning autonomous AI HVAC software, that helps you to achieve your ESG goals and saves up to 30% of your energy costs. The R8 Digital Operator is easily integrated into pre-existing property management systems, and intelligently adjusts parameters such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning settings to optimize the energy performance of the building.

Customers are consistently being briefed about the energy efficiency adjustments, tasks and results via a comprehensive monthly report and real time user interface, that is easy to act on.

KEY CUSTOMERS AND INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE

R8’s technology is presently being used in more than 1.3 million m2 of commercial real estate in 19 countries across Europe. Customers include Swedbank, Radisson Blu, WeWork, Linstow, Aalto University etc. The main focus is on shopping malls, office buildings, hotels, public buildings.

Team

R8tech's growing team consists of 26 talents in the Tallinn HQ (including a third with technical PhDs), 14 area managers across Europe and a strong advisory team of real estate, legal and investment professionals.

Unique selling point

Four main USPs supporting indoor climate comfort, energy & CO2 savings, equipment lifespan: Connecting all the data silos; no additional hardware; optimizing and writing settings automatically; providing actual results instead of just monitoring/analytics.

Asia Connection

R8tech is keen to expand activities to Asia. Two of the founders have strong personal experience from Japan and China.
