Go beyond basic energy monitoring
Everyone’s looking for energy efficiency, but budgets are tight. Use more data and tailored recommendations to run your building smarter.
Do better than yesterday. Every day
You’re already driving energy efficiency. Cortex can help you continue to cut energy waste and cost—more easily, with more certainty, and without disruption to tenants.
Maximize tenant comfort and satisfaction Get ahead of tenant comfort issues with predictive alerts.
Reduce operating costs
Get to temperature with less energy and spot waste in BMS faults and schedules.
Stay ahead of issues
Alerts help you identify spiking outdoor temperatures, equipment left running overnight, and more quickly.
Building engineering teams trust Cortex
“I like Cortex because it’s easy to use. It’s on my phone, I just click into it and everything comes up. I can see tomorrow’s start time. It shows our electricity and steam usage. It’s very easy to navigate through.”

Drive operational efficiency
Pair your experience with the power of machine learning to drive continuous efficiency.
With our action-orientated platform:
Leverage thousands of data points streaming from your BMS, meters, utility bills, grid, and tariff, and enrich them with occupancy and hyper-local weather data.
Identify and act on real-time energy efficiencies with specific recommendations.
View your building and operational KPIs at a glance.
Prove the impact you’re having.
“Before Cortex, I was driving blind. It gives me great, instantaneous feedback about what’s happening in the building.”
– Chief Building Engineer
Move from reactive to proactive
Stay ahead of tenant complaints and sidestep unexpected energy costs with visibility into operational issues before they escalate.
Using Cortex allows you to:
Enhance tenant comfort by actively monitoring temperature against lease obligations.
Prevent energy waste by proactively addressing issues like faults or set point misalignment.
Catch consumption anomalies.
“When a tenant makes a comment about the temperature in their area, I can look at the app right in my hand to see if the AC units are doing what they are meant to be.”

Lower costs
You know you’ll hear from the team if your energy costs go up. Set the stage for success with persistent commissioning that keeps you below the line.
Continuous commissioning lets you:
Cut energy waste with ‘push to accept’ automation that streamlines startup and shutdown.
Stay under your building’s monthly peak with specific recommendations and immediate load-shedding alerts.
Minimize monthly, grid, and utility peak costs with in-platform demand management.
“It’s all about the bottom line—dollars and cents. Cortex helps saves energy which makes both the owners and the engineers happy.”

Cortex FAQs
How is Cortex most useful to building engineering teams?
There’s a reason building engineers use Cortex. It makes your job easier. Our energy insights platform is designed to help you meet lease obligations and improve operational efficiency—simply. Here are just a few of the features that make that possible:
- Daily insights help you make day-to-day decisions on how to run your building better.
- Seasonal insights allow you to keep track of performance and setpoint recommendations.
- Portfolio-level reporting makes it easy to track the success of your building operations and progress toward ESG goals.
How can Cortex help me deliver a better tenant experience?
We help you release thousands of unused data points to continuously fine-tune your HVAC performance. If there is a sensor issue, we’ll alert you before your tenants do.
Do I need to buy new equipment or make upgrades to use Cortex?
No. You don’t need to upgrade your sensor or replace your equipment. We integrate with your existing equipment and your building’s BMS.
Will I still need to buy new equipment to reach my carbon reduction goals?
Most buildings will need to purchase new equipment to meet all of their carbon reduction goals.
Will Cortex control my building?
No. Our solution is designed to combine the power of AI with the experience and skills of building engineers.
Do I have to implement Cortex’s recommendations?
No. Our platform is excellent at spotting patterns, and making recommendations, but you know your building best.
