One Agent. Complete Autonomy.

We're building a single, unified agent that autonomously discovers your HVAC-R system, maps every component, and optimizes energy use — without human configuration.

In Development

Autonomous Discovery & Optimization Agent

A single AI agent that connects to your BAS, autonomously discovers every HVAC-R component in your facility — RTUs, chillers, pumps, towers, air handlers — maps the relationships between them, and builds an optimization model unique to your building. No manual configuration. No system-by-system setup. One agent, complete coverage.

From discovery to optimization in a single deployment — the AI understands your system before it begins saving energy.

1

Connect

Agent connects to your BAS via BACnet, LonWorks, or Modbus.

2

Discover

Autonomously maps every HVAC-R component and their relationships.

3

Model

Builds a facility-specific optimization model using Reinforcement Learning (RL).

4

Optimize

Continuously reduces energy consumption across all discovered systems, 24/7.

Want to be among the first to deploy the autonomous discovery agent?

The Process

Deployed in Hours.
Savings in 30 Days.

No projections. No guesswork. A no-risk pilot proves the savings before you commit.

Day 1

Deploy in Hours

Provide 12 months of electricity bills and BAS read/write access. ORCHESTRAE™ connects to your existing controls and deploys the same day. No physical audit. No new hardware.

Days 1–30

Learn & Model

The AI observes your building for 10 days, then builds an optimization model over the next 10–20 days. It learns your facility's unique patterns before taking control.

Month 2

Produce Savings

Once the model is built, ORCHESTRAE™ begins optimizing your HVAC-R controls every 5–15 minutes, 24/7. We measure savings in month two and deliver a savings report.

Month 3+

Decide — No Obligation

Savings = 2–3X the SaaS fee. If the pilot doesn't meet that threshold, there's no obligation to continue. No risk. You decide based on real, measured results.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ORCHESTRAE™ and getting started with a no-risk pilot.

What is ORCHESTRAE™ and how does it work?
ORCHESTRAE™ is an autonomous AI energy savings autopilot powered by Facil.Ai that replaces your existing HVAC-R control sequences with Reinforcement Learning (RL). It connects to your building automation system (BAS) via BACnet IP/MSTP, LonWorks, or Modbus TCP/RTU and makes continuous optimizations every 5–15 minutes, 24/7 — with no dashboard to monitor and no manual intervention required.
What kind of savings can I expect?
Packaged and rooftop units typically see 8–12% whole-building electricity savings. Water-cooled chiller plants achieve 35–50% central plant energy savings. Most sites achieve savings of 2–4X the SaaS fee.
What does "no-risk pilot" actually mean?
We deploy ORCHESTRAE™, measure real savings over approximately 60 days, and deliver a savings report. If the results don't meet the target threshold, you have no obligation to continue — no penalty, no long-term contract. You decide based on real, measured results.
What do I need to get started?
Just two things: 12 months of electricity bills and access to your BAS. There is no physical audit, no new hardware to install, and no capital expenditure. ORCHESTRAE™ integrates with your existing HVAC-R controls and can be deployed the same day.
How long does deployment take?
Deployment typically takes hours. The AI then observes your building for approximately 10 days, builds an optimization model over the next 10–20 days, and begins producing measurable savings. You'll have a savings report within about 60 days of deployment.
What are the minimum requirements for a pilot?
For packaged/rooftop units, the pilot minimum is 100 units. For water-cooled chiller plants, the minimum is 500 tons. These thresholds ensure enough scale to produce meaningful, measurable savings during the pilot period.
What is TIPS and how does it help with procurement?
The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) is a national cooperative that offers competitively procured contracts to its membership. Save Watt holds an awarded TIPS contract for Facilities Operational Optimization through HVAC AI Agents. This means state and local governments, public and private education entities, not-for-profits, and emergency services districts can procure our services without a separate competitive bid process — accelerating approval and deployment. For TIPS inquiries, contact David Handwork at david_handwork@savewatt.ai or (870) 897-2613.
What building types do you serve?
ORCHESTRAE™ works with commercial buildings, K-12 schools, higher education campuses, government facilities at all levels, hospitals, and any facility with packaged/rooftop HVAC units or water-cooled chiller plants. If your building has a BAS with BACnet, LonWorks, or Modbus connectivity, we can integrate.
Do I need to install new hardware?
In most cases, no. ORCHESTRAE™ integrates directly with your existing HVAC-R controls through BAS read/write access. There is no capital expenditure and no new hardware required. For facilities that need additional connectivity, we can deploy Strato SRV edge controllers — compact Windows 10 IoT DIN rail devices with embedded BACnet connectivity.
How are savings verified?
Savings are verified using IPMVP M&V Option C — the industry-standard whole-building methodology that compares actual energy consumption against a weather-normalized baseline. For chiller plants, savings can also be metered directly. You receive a detailed savings report so results are transparent and verifiable.
