The intelligence layer for the buildings the world already runs.

Every large building already collects the data that reveals its waste. LeanFM is the software that reads it — no hardware to sell, no sensors to install. A thin, fast wedge onto an enormous installed base, built on research from Carnegie Mellon.

01 — The opportunity

A large, recurring problem hiding inside infrastructure that already exists.

Up to 30%1

of a building's HVAC energy spend is lost to hidden faults.

3–5×1

typical return on finding and fixing them.

80K–1M+

sq ft per building — universities, healthcare, museums, K-12, commercial.

Figures from independent building retro-commissioning research. Individual results vary by building.

02 — The wedge

Software on top of infrastructure already installed.

No hardware to sell

We connect read-only to the building automation system a customer already owns. Nothing to manufacture, ship, install, or maintain — the economics of software, not devices.

Fast time-to-value

A sample analysis turns one building's existing data into ranked, dollar-valued findings — a short, low-friction path from first contact to proven ROI.

Land and expand

One building becomes a campus or portfolio. Recurring analysis plus AIR scoring across buildings creates durable, expanding accounts.

03 — Proof, on the record

Real deployments, real dollars.

K-12 · 220,000 sq ft $0

identified in a single school, from existing BAS data.

The Andy Warhol Museum $0

first-year savings, growing to $101,383 in year two.

Research origin Carnegie Mellon
University

where the Prescriptiv engine was developed — the research foundation behind the platform.

04 — Defensibility

A product built on research, not a wrapper.

The Prescriptiv fault-detection engine grew out of Carnegie Mellon research; AIR turns its findings into one explainable, comparable score; Maple makes it conversational. Together they form OnPoint — depth that's hard to replicate and gets better with every building analyzed. That research lineage stays inside the company: co-founder Burcu Akinci, Ph.D., is now Dean of Carnegie Mellon's College of Engineering.

05 — The model

Recurring, explainable, and expanding.

Customers don't buy a one-time audit; they keep running it, watching AIR move as fixes land. Findings they can verify build the trust that expands accounts across a portfolio — and every building analyzed sharpens the product.
