We use real-time data and smart thermostats to optimize temperature and airflow in every unit, *minute by minute*.

In multifamily buildings, energy efficiency often feels like a tradeoff. Turn down the heat, get resident complaints. Raise the AC setpoint, watch your maintenance calls spike.

At Embue, we believe you don’t need to make that choice.

With the right intelligence and control, buildings can cut energy use by up to 30% without compromising comfort, resident satisfaction, or operational workflows. Better comfort and lower energy bills go hand in hand.

Here’s how we do it.

Comfort-Safe Automation

Embue’s platform goes beyond basic controls. We use real-time data and smart thermostats to optimize temperature and airflow in every unit, minute by minute.

Our system continuously learns how each building behaves, for example:

Which units overheat or underheat during different times of the day
Where HVAC equipment struggles under load
When external conditions, like weather or open windows, impact comfort

With this intelligence, Embue can automatically identify areas of wasted energy use during peak periods or high-cost hours, without residents ever noticing a difference.

It means lower bills for owners and happier residents.

Optimize Central HVAC Equipment

Embue makes sure central equipment is running optimally, using less energy to produce the same amount of heating or cooling.

For buildings with central equipment such as boilers, chillers, pumps and ventilation equipment, Embue makes sure this equipment is running optimally -- that means using less energy to produce the same amount of heating or cooling.

For instance, pumps should only be running at maximum speed on the hottest or coldest days of the year. Running them too fast the rest of the time is just pumping heating water or chilled water around the building for no reason.

Stop Wasting Energy on Empty Spaces

It’s not just about heating and cooling efficiently; it’s about not conditioning spaces that don’t need it.

Embue detects when apartments are vacant, when windows are open, or when a system is running inefficiently. Instead of waiting for a resident complaint or a bloated utility bill, our platform takes action:

Setbacks when no one is home or when a window is opened
Alerts when systems are working too hard
Real-time visibility into every space, not just the ones with thermostats

That adds up to major savings—and fewer maintenance headaches.

Proven Results, Not Promises

We’ve deployed Embue across 11000 apartments and seen consistent performance:

30% lower energy use
50% fewer in-unit visits by staff
<1 year payback and 8x ROI
$100K+ NOI increase in a typical 250-unit building

And importantly, our customers don’t trade comfort for efficiency; they gain both.

From Energy Savings to Grid Revenue

Cutting energy use is just the beginning. With Embue, buildings can participate in demand response and virtual power plant (VPP) programs that generate new revenue by shifting usage when the grid is stressed.

It’s a new model for energy management—where your building works smarter for your bottom line and the planet.

Comfort, Control, and a Competitive Edge

Embue makes it easy. Our platform works in new construction and retrofits, across portfolios and building types. And it’s built for the real world, where staff are busy, residents expect comfort, and energy costs keep rising.

If you're ready to stop choosing between savings and satisfaction, let's talk.

Embue is the Building Operating System for multifamily. We help operators cut energy use, reduce maintenance, and improve resident comfort, portfolio-wide. Learn more at embue.com.
