Most buildings still replace HVAC equipment by age. A preview of PEAK Dynamic Capital Planning, what benchmarking 6,000+ AHUs revealed, and what it means for partners.

A year into having two CEOs, the results are in: more than 20 partners, double the buildings under management, and a route to most of the market. Here’s what’s working, and what comes next.

Commissioning, retro-commissioning, re-commissioning and MBCx compared side by side: when each applies, what they cost and save, and how they work together.

Answers about CIM and PEAK, the full-loop building operations system: what it is, how its AI drives every fault to verified action, BMS integrations, security, pricing model, partners, engineers, results and how PEAK compares.

An honest, sourced comparison of FDD platforms including Clockworks, SkySpark, Bueno, Facilio, Johnson Controls OpenBlue, BrainBox AI, CopperTree and CIM PEAK: the six platform types, who owns each vendor, and how to choose.

Most building analytics RFPs ask vendors to tick feature boxes, and every vendor ticks them all. This guide covers what to define before going to market, what the RFP should contain, 37 evaluation questions that separate platforms in practice, how to score responses and how to run a pilot.

What 12 months of PEAK fault tickets show about contractor accountability: in a CIM sample, about 1 in 6 closures were made before building data confirmed the fix, and 1 in 3 closed tickets carried no record of what was done.

A saving is energy that was not used, so it can never be metered directly. This is how savings are actually proven: IPMVP Options A to D, baselines and adjustments, ASHRAE Guideline 14 statistics, and the verification step most savings claims skip.

Markets always move from opportunity to power to efficiency. Building operations is entering that final phase, and AI is why it's arriving faster than anyone expected.

If your team already certifies for NABERS, you've probably ticked off Green Star Performance v2's two biggest operational credits without realising it. Here's what the calculation guides don't spell out, and the one thing that can quietly undo both ratings at once.

Fault detection rules are only as good as the data model underneath them. A practical guide for BMS contractors and RCx firms to point naming, Project Haystack, Brick Schema, BACnet integration paths and the minimum point list FDD actually needs.

We went through every fault alert raised across our monitored portfolio over the last twelve months: more than 63,000 of them, across 600+ commercial buildings. This is what is genuinely wrong with commercial buildings right now, ranked by how many buildings have it and by what it costs to fix.
