Cut energy waste in commercial buildings with AI agents you own.
Gaper builds AI agents into your building automation system, meters and CMMS: automated fault detection and diagnostics, envelope inspection reports and retrofit planning. They find the waste, open the fix and prove the savings, and your team owns the code.
Why do commercial buildings waste so much energy?
HVAC faults, schedules nobody updates and leaks in the building envelope. The data to catch them already sits in BMS trend logs, interval meters and inspection imagery. Nobody has the hours to read it.

Building analytics that open the fix, not just the alarm.
Most building analytics software stops at a dashboard. Gaper agents read demand curves, setpoints, thermal passes and utility bills, decide what matters, act in your tools and leave a trace your team can inspect.
Three AI agents for the three places commercial buildings leak energy.
HVAC Fault Detection & Diagnostics Agent
Automated FDD for the waste your BAS is already logging.
Continuous, monitoring-based commissioning on every AHU, RTU, VAV and meter. The agent catches simultaneous heating and cooling, schedule drift, stuck economizers and sensor drift, then opens the work order in Maximo or ServiceNow with the evidence attached. Predictive maintenance for HVAC, without another dashboard.
Building Envelope Inspection Agent
Turn drone and infrared thermography into a repair list by morning.
Your inspector or drone partner captures the thermal imaging. The agent detects air leakage, missing insulation, thermal bridges and moisture, pins each defect to a floor and bay, and drafts the building envelope inspection report your team would otherwise spend a week writing.
Energy Retrofit Planning Agent
Know which energy efficiency measure pays back first.
An AI energy audit you can rerun every quarter. It combines utility bills, interval data, equipment age and building energy modeling into a ranked retrofit plan with payback and carbon impact. It drafts 179D and utility rebate paperwork and maps a path to building performance standards like Local Law 97.
Most buildings get another analytics platform. You need AI agents that act.
- Another dashboard and login for your team
- Building data copied into their cloud
- Per-building license with no end date
- Insights still wait for someone to act on them
- Actions land in Maximo, ServiceNow or your BAS
- Runs in your cloud, with your auth
- You own the code; we can run the SLA
- Evals and guardrails on your real buildings
From a free AI energy assessment to an agent you own.
Start with one building and one workflow. Verify it against real trend data, then roll it out across the portfolio with a named owner.
Bring a building and its systems. We size the savings and make the build-vs-buy call before anyone writes code.
A working agent on your real BAS and meter data, inside your cloud, within a day of access.
Measurement and verification against a weather-normalized baseline, gated by release evals before it touches a live control point.
Code, runbook and monitoring handed over, or Gaper operates it under an SLA. Then roll it out across the portfolio.

30 minutes with an AI architect. Bring one building and one workflow. You leave with a savings estimate and a build plan, whether or not you work with us.
Questions facilities teams ask about AI energy management
How can AI reduce energy consumption in commercial buildings?
Most waste comes from HVAC faults, poor schedules and envelope leaks that nobody has time to find. AI agents read BMS trend data, meter intervals and inspection imagery continuously, flag what is wasting energy, and open the fix in the tools your team already uses.
What is fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) for HVAC?
Automated fault detection and diagnostics continuously checks building automation data for problems such as simultaneous heating and cooling, stuck dampers or drifting sensors, and explains the likely cause. Gaper's agent goes a step further: it writes the work order and tracks the fix.
How is this different from building analytics software?
A building analytics platform gives you its dashboard and its roadmap. We build AI agents around your workflow, inside your BMS and CMMS, and you own the code. No per-building license that never ends.
Which building automation systems do you integrate with?
BACnet and Niagara-based BAS and BMS, utility and interval data (Green Button, utility APIs, ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager), and work order management in Maximo and ServiceNow. If it has an API or an export, we can usually work with it.
Does our building data leave our network?
No. Agents run in your cloud or on-prem environment with your authentication. Gaper never needs a copy of your BAS data on our servers.
How long until we see results?
Timelines depend on the integrations and approvals the workflow needs, so they are scoped up front. Savings are measured against a baseline before launch.
