R-Zero

R-Zero offers a vertically integrated smart-building platform that combines proprietary sensors with a cloud analytics system to help organizations improve HVAC efficiency, understand how their spaces are used, and monitor indoor air quality in real-time. Hardware includes occupancy sensors for desks and rooms, AI-based people counters for entryways, thermal area counters, RESET-accredited air-quality monitors, and on-premise Hubs that securely relay sensor data to the cloud. These devices capture live occupancy, environmental, and comfort data across entire portfolios, informing decisions about workplace design, energy use, and building performance. Customers use the R-Zero Connect dashboard to track utilization trends, automate room releases, identify underused areas, optimize ventilation, and maintain healthy indoor conditions without sacrificing comfort or productivity.

The company operates a hybrid model centered on CapEx hardware paired with required SaaS subscriptions. Sensors, gateways, monitors, and HVAC filtration products are purchased outright, either individually or as deployment kits, while the Connect software platform is billed annually per device or via bundled portfolio tiers. The subscription unlocks real-time dashboards, historical analytics, alerts, BMS/BAS integrations, and access to R-Zero’s APIs. For HVAC energy optimization, R-Zero also offers a shared-savings model in which customers pay from verified reductions in energy spend—covering advanced filters, occupancy-based ventilation controls, and ongoing monitoring.
