BoardOS

The building decides for itself now.

Every building runs on decisions.

A building’s largest consumption events happen in windows too short for a person to catch and too frequent for a person to manage. The peak that sets a demand charge can form and pass in 11 minutes — at 3:45 in the morning, in a store that’s closed.

A bill tells you about that peak a month later. BoardOS acts on it the moment it happens.

Continuous consumption data at the circuit, not a monthly total.

Learns how the building behaves, predicts what it is about to do, determines what happens next.

Stored energy deployed or absorbed where power is consumed, in milliseconds.

The result is measured, and the model improves.

It knows what this building does on a Tuesday in August, what happens when the chillers stage up, what the last four weeks of behavior imply about the next four hours.

Hardware without intelligence is a battery. Intelligence without hardware is a dashboard. Either without measurement is a guess.

Autonomy

It makes the decisions for you. You set the rules.

Not a timer. Not a schedule someone set at commissioning. BoardOS decides continuously, from what the building is doing right now, and works with the systems you already have.

What it does
It acts on its own.
Decisions around the clock, whether or not anyone is watching.
What you see
It does not act in the dark.
Every decision and every kilowatt moved is visible, from a circuit to the whole portfolio.

ALL FOUR BUILT IN-HOUSE

Every layer, from the cells to the intelligence, is built by Novele. Software bolted onto someone else’s battery crosses a vendor boundary on every decision. Here, decision and action happen in the same millisecond.

The building has been operating without a processor for its entire life. Every decision it made was made slowly, by someone, or not at all.

That is the part that changes.
