R-Zero’s Expands Availability of Commercial Real Estate Energy Savings Tool Prospector AI

R-Zero, a San Francisco-headquartered smart building platform focused on reducing energy use and operational costs, announced the nationwide expansion of Prospector AI, its proprietary data analytics software that identifies immediate energy savings for commercial building owners and operators.

Prospector AI premiered exclusively in New York City last December. The company said it is now available in the top 20 metropolitan areas, analyzing over 32,000 buildings with a combined savings potential of $3.8 billion annually.

Prospector AI evaluates the building energy performance, with the goal of identifying cost savings, energy reductions, and penalty avoidance, while enhancing asset value for owners and operators. The software analyzes energy usage data to forecast achievable savings using R-Zero’s building optimization technology and prioritizes properties by potential impact and deployment complexity, the company added.

“Expanding Prospector AI gives property owners and portfolio managers a clear, data-driven roadmap to improve efficiency, save money, and future-proof their assets across the country and their portfolio,” said Jennifer Nuckles, CEO and chairperson at R-Zero. “Building owners in every major market are facing the same convergence of rising energy costs, grid constraints, and compliance deadlines; Prospector AI provides significant leverage to customers nationwide to meet this challenge with proven ROI.”
