Office HVAC monitoring without a six-figure building analytics project
Enterprise building analytics platforms are built and priced for corporate campuses. Elite Energy Management brings the same early-warning intelligence to office buildings and property portfolios running rooftop units, using the controls you already have, starting at $5 per unit per month.
In office buildings, the tenant complaint is the alarm system
Rooftop units serving office space degrade the same way they do everywhere else: slowly, quietly, and expensively. But in a multi-tenant building, the first signal anyone acts on is a comfort complaint, and by then the problem is already costing you in energy, equipment life, and tenant goodwill.
Complaints arrive weeks after problems start
A unit losing capacity keeps the space tolerable until a heat wave or full occupancy pushes it over the edge. The complaint lands on the property manager's desk long after the equipment started struggling.
Efficiency drift hides in operating expenses
A degrading unit works twice as hard for half the output. Spread across a portfolio, that drift quietly inflates operating expenses year after year, and nothing on a utility bill says which building or which unit is responsible.
Mixed schedules mask equipment problems
Multi-tenant buildings run irregular occupancy: some suites at 7am, others until 10pm. Runtime that looks unusual on paper may be normal, and runtime that looks normal may be a failing unit. Without a per-unit baseline, nobody can tell the difference.
Building analytics is priced for campuses
Traditional building management analytics can run tens of thousands of dollars per site to deploy. The economics never worked for a building with 6 rooftop units, so most office RTUs have never been analyzed at all.
Why your thermostats and BMS reports miss it
Thermostats confirm the space is at setpoint. Even buildings with basic management systems mostly see schedules, setpoints, and alarms that fire only after something has already failed. What none of them watch is behavior: how hard each unit works to deliver comfort, and how that compares to the same unit when it was healthy.
- A degrading unit holds setpoint for weeks while burning far more energy than it should. No alarm fires, because setpoint was never missed.
- Second stage compressor overuse, short cycling, and falling cooling output are invisible on a schedule and setpoint view.
- Each unit is compared against its own history, weather normalized, so mixed tenant schedules do not produce false alarms.
What Elite Energy Management does differently
We connect to the smart thermostats or energy management system your buildings already have, collect readings from every rooftop unit every 60 seconds, and let AI learn how each unit behaves when it is healthy. When behavior drifts, you get a plain English warning with a recommended next step.
A health score for every unit in the portfolio
Every rooftop unit gets a 0 to 100 health score, updated nightly. Running well means it is fine. Monitoring means we are watching a developing trend. Action needed means schedule a service call. Portfolio managers see every building ranked in one view.
Early warning before tenant complaints
Our AI models compare each unit against its own history, weather normalized so hot days do not trigger false alarms. In real world cases the platform has flagged developing failures 1 to 9 days before they surfaced.
Repair or replace, decided with data
Capacity degradation tracking shows how much cooling output a unit has lost versus when it was running well, so capital planning decisions rest on evidence instead of a technician's gut feel during an emergency.
Operating expense visibility per unit
Set your utility rate per building and see what every unit costs per day, week, and month. Find the buildings quietly burning energy and put a dollar figure on the waste.
Ten days of warning. Zero tenant complaints.
At a multi-tenant office building we monitor, the platform flagged a rooftop unit starting to fail a full ten days before anyone in the building would have known. The owner scheduled the repair on a normal service visit, at normal rates, before comfort ever slipped. No emergency call, no scramble, and not one tenant felt a thing. That is exactly the failure mode office buildings dread most, converted into a line item.
“Elite Energy Management caught a rooftop unit going bad ten days before any of us would have known. We got it repaired on a normal service call, and not one tenant ever felt a thing. That is the difference between a planned fix and a 2 a.m. emergency.”
No new hardware. No installation visits.
We integrate with the equipment your locations already have, including eViewIoT, Pelican Wireless, Honeywell Resideo, ecobee, and Sensi. If you do not have an energy management system yet, we partner with eViewIoT to get you connected. Data starts flowing in hours, and the AI starts learning your equipment on day one.
- Connect through your existing smart thermostats or EMS. No roof work, no tenant disruption, no capital project.
- Monitoring is read only. We never take control of your equipment or change your setpoints.
- Pricing starts at $5 per unit per month. A building with 8 rooftop units costs about $40 per month, a rounding error against one emergency call.
Common questions from property and facilities managers
No. The platform connects through smart thermostats and energy management systems, including eViewIoT, Pelican Wireless, Honeywell Resideo, ecobee, and Sensi. If your buildings run rooftop units on compatible controls, we can monitor them.
Yes. Every building and every unit appears in one dashboard, ranked by health, so a portfolio team can manage HVAC across properties without visiting a roof.
Those platforms are built for large campuses and typically involve significant per-site deployment cost. Elite Energy Management is software only, connects to controls you already own, and is priced per rooftop unit, which makes the economics work for ordinary office buildings.
Yes. The platform tracks each unit's capacity degradation over time, weather normalized, so you can see how much cooling output a unit has lost and plan capital replacement before an emergency forces the decision.
No. It makes your existing contractor more effective. Instead of dispatching on complaints, you dispatch on data: which building, which unit, what the problem looks like, and how urgent it is.
