Frequently asked questions

Edviro is software that watches building data and incoming requests for a facilities team, works out the likely cause of a problem, and drafts a fix for a person to approve. We call it an AI facilities crew. It takes in building signals, staff requests, work orders, assets, schedules and budgets, routes approved work to the right person, and afterwards checks the building data to see that the fix held. We started in Northern California schools, and we’re backed by Y Combinator.

It does work orders too. The AI Crew is the subscription. Work orders is a paid module you can add to it, and utility tracking, project management, asset logging and facilities scheduling are modules you can add free if you don’t already have them. The work-order module takes requests through the app and by email, suggests a category and priority, assigns by site, asset or trade, gives technicians instructions on their phone, holds photos and inspections, supports backlog review, and checks afterwards that the problem was resolved. Energy monitoring is where many teams start.

It’s software that monitors a building, detects waste and faults as they start, finds the likely cause, drafts the corrective action and then checks the result in the meter data. In Edviro, a person on your team approves every change to building systems before it happens.

A monitoring tool or BMS dashboard shows you charts and alarms, and working out what to do is left to you. Edviro has no alarms tab. It triages every alarm, request and meter change, finds the likely cause and drafts a fix for your team to approve. Once a person approves it, Edviro dispatches and tracks the work, then checks the data to confirm the problem stopped. It runs on top of your existing BMS.

Facilities directors, maintenance and operations leads and field technicians, plus the finance and leadership teams they report to. We work in K–12 and higher education, data centers, commercial real estate, healthcare and construction. Schools are where we started and where we have the most experience.

It’s a model of each building, built from the connected data and the fixes that have been verified there. You use it to test a decision before spending money: replacing a boiler, adding a wing, changing a schedule or absorbing a rate change. It gives projected savings and payback based on the building’s real usage.

No. If you already have a CMMS, keep it: Edviro sends approved fixes into it and checks the outcome. It connects to SchoolDude, FMX, AssetWorks and other major CMMS platforms. If you don’t have a work-order or asset system, you can add ours: asset logging is free with the AI Crew subscription, and work orders is a paid module.

No. Edviro reads from what you already have: meters, submeters, sensors, your BMS, work-order systems and utility bills. That includes Niagara, Pelican, Carrier i-Vu and other major BMS/BAS vendors, as well as legacy controls, utility portals and monthly bills. Your controls stay in place.

Edviro learns each building’s normal load, schedules and equipment behavior from its own data, then flags changes from that pattern as they appear. Typical catches are short-cycling boilers, after-hours runtime, stuck dampers, creeping base load, unexpected gas or water use and solar underperformance. At one school the gas meter read 76 therms in a day against 16.7 expected, and the likely cause was a hot-water valve stuck open. Each catch reaches your team with the likely cause and a drafted fix to approve.

Usually within the first week. We connect a few sites and show you what Edviro catches there. There’s no upfront audit, and you don’t replace any equipment.

Read-only access to the systems you already run. Connecting the data is quick.

We’re completing SOC 2 certification. We also offer zero data retention (ZDR), air-gapped and on-premises deployments, and dedicated hosting regions such as the Middle East.

Not without approval. Edviro monitors, diagnoses and follows up around the clock, but anything with a side effect, such as an email, a work order or a schedule or setpoint change, is drafted for a person on your team to approve first. It doesn’t operate building systems without authorization.

We count a saving only after the meter confirms it. Every change is measured against a baseline learned from the building’s own data, then checked in the meter data and on the bill. Edviro generates M&V reports for leadership and flags any change that didn’t save as expected.

It uses each asset’s history, repeated failures and repair cost for a repair-or-replace analysis, simulates each project against the building model, and ranks the projects by modeled payback.

We’ve saved customers $500K and run at 134 sites. At one high school, we detected $400,000 in gas overbilling against its weather-adjusted baseline. Most of our work so far is in schools.

In commercial buildings Edviro reads occupancy from WiFi access points, badge systems, existing sensors or our own occupancy sensors, and proposes HVAC and lighting schedules around who is actually there. A person approves each change first, and we check the result in the meter data.

No. A named person approves every proposal, and you can exclude critical spaces entirely.

It sets an independent baseline during fit-out, flags variance against the design model while the contractor is still on site, and gives the owner an M&V report. So far we’ve piloted baselining and M&V with a construction company.

Yes. Edviro is available through Sourcewell.

Yes. We confirm the scope for your site on the demo call.
