Why We Love Building Staff


Ask any property manager what their day looks like, and you’ll hear a version of this: too many calls, not enough time, and never, ever enough visibility into what’s actually going on across their buildings.

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.

Let me give you a couple of real-life examples.

The One-Hour Meeting That Saved 25%

In another building, we brought the property management team and the Embue team together for a one-hour session. We pulled up the Embue Super dashboard and walked through comfort settings, ventilation, and HVAC scheduling.

What we found were small things: thermostats still running on winter setpoints, unoccupied common areas being conditioned unnecessarily, fans that didn’t need to be on 24/7.

But those small things added up. By the end of that one meeting, we helped the team adjust their settings to drive a 25% reduction in energy use and carbon emissions with zero disruption to residents.

Keeping Tabs on Building Conditions Pays Big Dividends

At one 200-unit multifamily highrise building we work with, the property staff got together with our team for a routine energy check to review how things were going. Our dashboard showed that apartment unit fans were running continuously due to low cooling setpoints (as low as 68°F). By adjusting the minimum cooling setpoint to 74°F, they immediately reduced unnecessary fan operation, leading to a significant drop in energy consumption.

No need to head out to the area, no guesswork. Just instant data, actionable insight, and a simple fix. Energy use dropped 30% immediately. That’s the kind of impact Embue delivers.



Real-Time Visibility, Real-Time Control

This is what Embue does best. We give staff the tools to:

  • Diagnose resident comfort issues remotely 

  • Adjust HVAC settings instantly

  • Spot inefficiencies and poor building conditions before they become emergencies

  • Optimize building operations without waiting for capital upgrades

And we don’t just hand them a dashboard and walk away. We meet with them, we troubleshoot with them and we partner with them.

What Staff Tell Us

Here’s what we hear again and again:

“Embue makes it easy to stay ahead of problems instead of chasing complaints.”
“It’s like having a second set of eyes across all our units.”
“I don’t have to run from building to building anymore because I can handle it from my phone.”

Better Tools = Better Buildings

We believe building intelligence should support your teams, not replace them. That’s why Embue is designed for the realities of multifamily operations. If you’re running properties today, you know the pressure. Embue takes some of that pressure off while making your buildings more efficient, more responsive, and more resilient.

Let’s talk if you want to see how we can do the same for your team.
