R-Zero has launched a fully integrated solution that combines occupancy-based ventilation control, high-efficiency air filtration, live utilization data, and real-time indoor air quality monitoring.
By uniting these capabilities into a single platform, R-Zero helps commercial real estate owners and operators cut HVAC energy costs by up to 30 per cent, extend equipment life, improve tenant experience, and optimize portfolio performance — all without construction, IT burden, or upfront capital investment.
R-Zero CEO, Jennifer Nuckles, said operating costs are on the rise, with energy now accounting for as much as 40 per cent of a building’s expenses – and peak demand charges climbing by 25 per cent.
"At the same time, occupancy patterns are shifting and tenant expectations for comfort are higher than ever,” she said.
“Our integrated platform tackles all three challenges, helping commercial real estate leaders — from asset managers to property managers to facilities teams — cut costs, and ultimately, protect net operating income and portfolio value."
Traditional static building operations waste energy, strain aging HVAC systems, and leave owners guessing about tenant satisfaction. R-Zero's platform modernizes operations by combining:
- Occupancy-Based Demand Control Ventilation (O-DCV):Dynamic, real-time ventilation that adjusts airflow based on actual space usage.
- High-Efficiency Filtration:Smart filters that reduce HVAC fan energy by up to 15% and last 2-3X longer than conventional filters.
- Actionable Analytics:Live utilization insights by floor, suite, and tenant help property teams reduce churn risk and plan smarter leasing and capital improvements.
- Continuous Indoor Air Quality Monitoring:Real-time visibility into CO₂, particulate matter, humidity, and temperature levels — giving facilities teams the proof and tools needed to ensure comfortable and compliant environments.
