Tenant comfort
Commercial buildings need to reduce energy without creating comfort complaints or operational disruption.

AI HVAC optimisation for commercial buildings and portfolios
EcoAI helps commercial buildings reduce HVAC energy through existing BMS infrastructure, without replacing plant, disrupting tenants or relying on ongoing manual tuning.
For offices, multi-let buildings, landlords, managing agents, asset managers and FM teams, HVAC optimisation is often a large and underused opportunity. EcoAI delivers myCoreAI as a comfort-first optimisation layer that works through the existing BMS while the BMS remains the control system.
Commercial fit
EcoAI is relevant where existing commercial buildings have suitable BMS access, meaningful HVAC loads and controllable setpoints.
- Comfort and operations Reduce wasted HVAC energy while protecting tenant comfort and agreed comfort limits.
- Existing BMS infrastructure Keep the BMS as the control system while myCoreAI provides optimisation above it.
- Verified reporting Support savings, carbon and operational performance discussions with clearer evidence.
The commercial building challenge
Comfort, cost and carbon all have to be managed at once
Changing occupancy
Office use, weather conditions and internal gains can change throughout the week, making fixed schedules and static settings inefficient.
Energy and ESG pressure
Owners and operators need measurable reductions in consumption, cost and carbon.
Limited time for manual tuning
FM and controls teams cannot manually optimise every setpoint every 15 minutes across a building or portfolio.
How EcoAI helps
Continuous optimisation through the existing BMS
The BMS controls
The existing BMS remains in place and continues to control plant, local loops, schedules and safety functions.
myCoreAI optimises
myCoreAI reads selected BMS data, weather inputs and building behaviour, then calculates optimisation adjustments within agreed comfort and operational limits.
EcoAI delivers and verifies
EcoAI supports UK implementation, configuration, review and reporting so savings can be understood and evidenced clearly.
Commercial opportunities

Why it matters
Useful insight is not enough on its own
Analytics can identify waste, but savings are only delivered when insight becomes controlled action. EcoAI helps turn building data into practical HVAC optimisation through the existing BMS, reducing the need for repeated manual intervention.
Proof
21.1% HVAC electricity reduction at St Andrews
EcoAI’s St Andrews case study demonstrates that measurable HVAC energy savings can be delivered through existing BMS infrastructure, with no rip-and-replace and no operational disruption. While every building is assessed individually, the same optimisation principles apply across suitable commercial buildings and complex estates.
- 21.1% HVAC electricity reduction
- 158 MWh measured energy saving
- 9.2% heat reduction
- 29.3 tCO₂e operational carbon reduction
