Enerbrain

Enerbrain is a building energy technology company founded in 2015 within the Politecnico di Torino business incubator and headquartered in Turin, Italy. It was built to reduce the energy wasted by heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in non-residential buildings, which are often left running on fixed schedules regardless of actual occupancy or weather conditions.

Enerbrain retrofits existing HVAC systems with IoT sensors and cloud-based control algorithms that continuously adjust temperature and airflow settings without replacing the underlying equipment. Clients including Michelin, Banco BPM, Carrefour and the Municipality of Turin use the system across industrial, retail, banking and public buildings, with the company reporting average HVAC energy savings of 12-30% and payback periods of 6-24 months.

1. Retrofit sensors: IoT devices install onto existing HVAC systems without replacing equipment.

2. Cloud control algorithm: continuously fine-tunes temperature and airflow based on real conditions.

3. Energy monitoring dashboard: tracks consumption and savings across every connected building.

4. Environmental monitoring: measures indoor comfort factors alongside energy performance.

5. Fast payback: typical projects report savings of 12-30% with 6-24 month payback periods.

6. Cross-sector use: deployed in industrial, retail, banking and public sector buildings.
