BrainBox AI, a pioneer in predictive and self-adaptive commercial building technology, is pleased to announce its global distribution agreement with ABB.
ABB will offer BrainBox AI’s technology services with a co-branded customer User Interface (UI). This step confirms the next phase of the key relationship, following the October 28, 2021, Series A funding announcement, wherein ABB participated as a lead investor.
ABB – BrainBox AI partnership
This agreement demonstrates ABB’s clear recognition of the significant capabilities that BrainBox AI’s technology offers and the synchrony with its goals to make buildings smarter, safer, and secure while improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.
The continuation of this strategic engagement allows the ABB Building and Home Automation Systems unit to supplement its existing portfolio of digital offerings with BrainBox AI's solution.
Reducing carbon footprint of buildings
All business leaders need up-to-date, real-time information, in order make intelligent decisions"
With BrainBox AI’s technology as the driving force, buildings can benefit from up to a 20-40% decrease in their carbon footprint, as well as a reduction in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) energy costs of up to 25%. In addition, BrainBox AI’s deep learning software increases occupant comfort and extends the life of HVAC equipment, without upfront capital expenditure.
“All business leaders need up-to-date, real-time information, in order make intelligent decisions. Property management is no different,” explains Thorsten Mueller, the Head of Global Product Group Building and Home Automation Solutions, ABB Smart Buildings.
Importance of Data intelligence
Thorsten Mueller adds, “Operational data helps businesses to highlight areas for improvement, optimize operations, find efficiencies and drive cost-savings. Data intelligence helps to create buildings that learn by processing the vast amounts of data that integrated buildings systems create, AI algorithms in smart buildings can make autonomous decisions around HVAC systems and lighting that benefit the owner, employees and the environment.”
BrainBox AI offers Artificial Intelligence (AI) to combat climate change, by making commercial buildings smarter and more efficient. Its flagship product is currently installed in over 100 000 000 sq. ft. of real estate across 18 countries.
Seamless communication with building management systems
Through seamless communication with building management systems (BMS), the technology optimizes HVAC systems in real-time, permitting the existing infrastructure to become predictive and self-adaptive, while significantly reducing energy consumption and emissions.
“This announcement is a natural step forward in our relationship with ABB, further demonstrating their commitment to bringing automation and AI to the market. This distribution agreement paves the way for deeper collaboration, including integration and joint product development,” said Frank Sullivan, the Chief Commercial Officer for BrainBox AI.
