Building performance · Energy optimization · Portfolio value
Making every building hour more valuable.
Your building operates 8,760 hours every year. We connect building intelligence, automation and continuous optimization to turn wasted hours into lower energy costs and stronger financial results.

01The 8760 Principle
Every building has 8,760 hours a year to perform.
Buildings don't only create or destroy value during business hours. HVAC cycles overnight, schedules drift on weekends, faults compound and energy prices vary. Every hour is an opportunity to eliminate waste, reduce risk and create measurable asset value.

02The commercial thesis
This is a financial decision, not a product purchase.
Owners, investors and asset managers aren't buying controls or software. They're deciding whether an engagement can reduce controllable costs, avoid compliance exposure, improve net operating income and deliver an acceptable risk-adjusted return.
So we don't lead with product features. We lead with the financial cost of underperforming buildings, and a documented path to measurable value.
Verified energy savings
Lower electricity, gas, steam and demand costs from validated operational improvements.
Operating & maintenance savings
Fewer avoidable service events, better diagnostics and more productive facility teams.
Avoided compliance costs
Reduced exposure to emissions penalties, late-reporting penalties and escalating future limits.
NOI & asset value
Recurring operating savings can strengthen property cash flow, valuation and financing outcomes.

04Technology ecosystem
Proven technologies. One accountable partner.
We're independent: technology selection starts with your operating and financial priorities, not a manufacturer's catalog. Our initial strategic partners:
Urbana
Connect. Understand. Optimize.
Building intelligence: systems integration, IoT connectivity, analytics and portfolio-level visibility into how buildings actually operate.
- Building systems integration
- Operational visibility
- Equipment performance monitoring
- Portfolio-level insights
B-Tune
Optimize. Reduce. Sustain.
Continuous HVAC optimization that plugs into the existing BMS to reduce unnecessary runtime and keep systems performing, often under shared-savings structures.
- Reduced HVAC energy consumption
- Continuous optimization
- Ongoing performance monitoring
- Potential shared-savings structures
8760
Urbana makes buildings more intelligent and connected. B-Tune optimizes how they run. 8760 connects customer requirements, the right technologies, implementation partners, commercial strategy and performance accountability. Combined forecasts account for overlapping measures; savings are never simply added together.
05The 8760 Performance System™
Six steps from insight to sustained value.
A repeatable methodology, so improvements don't stall between a promising insight and results that last across every season.
Connect
BMS, equipment, controls, meters, sensors, operating data and enterprise priorities in one view.
Understand
Establish visibility, diagnose faults and waste, quantify risk, prioritize the highest-value opportunities.
Optimize
Improve BMS sequences, schedules, setpoints, equipment operation, energy strategy and facility workflows.
Protect
Preserve comfort, equipment health, operational continuity, cybersecurity boundaries and verified savings.
Create Value
Translate performance into lower costs, stronger NOI, improved asset value and better capital decisions.
Scale
Move validated results from one building or pilot to an enterprise portfolio with repeatable delivery.

07Regulation creates urgency
Compliance exposure is a line item. Treat it like one.
From NYC Local Law 97 to Washington's Clean Buildings program and D.C.'s BEPS, building-performance rules now carry real penalties. We help quantify the cost of inaction, prioritize low-capital operational reductions and document results for owners and their licensed compliance professionals.

when stricter emissions limits take effect for covered buildings
Published City figures for Article 320 covered buildings. 8760 provides technology, analysis, implementation coordination and M&V; legal compliance determinations and filings remain with the owner and licensed professionals.
08Pilot-to-Portfolio™
Prove it in one building. Scale it across all of them.
Every pilot begins with a documented baseline, success criteria, technical scope, commercial economics and a clear decision pathway, so the results are measured, not assumed.
