At Embue, we’ve spent years listening to property management teams and designing our platform to make their lives easier, faster, and more efficient.

The result? Building staff love Embue, and for good reason.

Technology-powered networks are making it easier than ever to manage and lower energy use across buildings, improve NOI and boost building resilience, all without sacrificing comfort or control.

What exactly is a VPP, and how can it benefit multifamily properties? This post will provide a deep dive into virtual power plants and their advantages for property owners and managers.

As AI continues to evolve, its energy footprint will remain a huge issue, significantly impacting the built environment. Multifamily owners and operators can prepare by adopting technologies that can interact with the grid to mitigate rising costs.

One of the things we talk about at Embue is how our platform brings together the people who own, manage and work in multifamily apartment buildings to drive value throughout the property.

But what does that really mean?

Stakeholder meetings are incredibly impactful and are designed to set the building and the building team up for success. After the one hour meeting, buildings typically are set up to save 25% or more in energy and carbon reductions and the site team is immediately more productive and responsive to resident calls.

Embue, the first smart building platform for multifamily portfolios, today announced that it has been awarded a $335,000 grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) InnovateMass Program to introduce peak load management solutions to a previously underserved sector: affordable multifamily housing.

Embue was recently awarded a generous $335,000 grant from MassCEC’s InnovateMass Program to peak load management solution that will enable affordable housing communities to generate revenue from the grid.

Boston’s Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO) aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), improve energy efficiency, and promote sustainability across the city’s building stock, which is responsible for over 70% of the greenhouse gas emissions.

Achieving a net-zero emissions building will mean implementing change in five areas.

Boston has emerged as a leader in the fight against climate change and has put laws with stringent regulations in place to force building owners and managers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions gradually to net zero by 2050.

Based on the latest public BERDO reporting data, over 50% of existing multifamily buildings will fail even the earliest (2025) limits unless their carbon emissions are reduced.

Embue has been named to Third Derivative’s Cohort 24-1, the latest group of startups working on solving some of the world’s biggest climate issues.

As the rate of electrification accelerates, the grid will experience peak electricity usage on a few of the coldest days of winter - typically seven days, or 2% of the year -  and it may not be able to generate or supply sufficient electricity to meet demand.   

The last year has been remarkable for Embue. In November we announced a seed round of $2.3 million, and that, together with a new 3.8M debt financing facility that we recently secured through MassDevelopment, has enabled us to grow our talented team who are dedicated to developing our platform and furthering our reach into the multifamily market.
