Thrive Buildings has launched ThriveIQ to help organisations sustain energy savings, improve safety and continuously enhance operational performance in critical environments.
ThriveIQ was created to address a longstanding challenge to sustain optimised building system performance, which is especially challenging in more complex operating systems found in labs, vivariums, cleanrooms or operating rooms.
While traditional efficiency projects often deliver short-term gains, these typically erode over time, in many cases as soon as one year later.
ThriveIQ leverages today’s best-in-class independent data layer (IDL) and fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) capabilities to ensure performance improvements are continuously validated for compliance, adapted to maintain efficient operation, and preserved over the facility’s lifecycle.
The Independent Data Layer transforms raw system signals into reliable, contextualised information, eliminating single‑source data lock‑in and enabling both today’s FDD insights and tomorrow’s AI‑driven analytics.
Thrive Buildings CEO, Dan Diehl, said two decades of experience has shown that initial optimisation and sustaining performance are very different pursuits which require a ‘privilege of focus’ from dedicated teams.
“With ThriveIQ, our team provides that ongoing focus—bringing continuous attention, expertise, and data‑driven insight so organizations don’t lose the gains they’ve worked hard to achieve, and ensuring the critical environments they operate continue to meet the needs of the many diverse groups who rely on them,” Diehl said.
“Thrive recognises that AI is the next frontier, while also emphasising that much of the sustained performance organisations need today can currently be achieved through advanced analytics purpose-built for critical environments, combined with the company’s safety and compliance expertise.”
Critical environments are dynamic by nature. "Research profiles evolve, risk levels change, systems drift, and institutional knowledge is lost over time,” Diehl said.
“At the same time, responsibility for performance is often fragmented across Facilities, Energy, Environmental Health and Safety, Lab Operations, and Procurement teams.
“ThriveIQ was created to solve these unique challenges and to bridge these functional requirements including safety, efficiency, reliability, and cost objectives into a unified operational strategy with measurable ROIs.”
Diehl said ThriveIQ shifts organisations from episodic efficiency projects to continuous optimisation with a focus on delivering outcomes and ensuring critical environments meet their efficiency, compliance, and most importantly user requirements.
“The result is sustained operational performance at the best lifecycle cost,” he said.
