OpenNLC software,
powered by KenergyAI
and Mobius Flow,
uses real-time occupancy data from networked lighting controls (NLCs) to optimize HVAC systems. This approach reduces energy waste in unoccupied spaces while maintaining comfort levels.

savings
without compromising building performance.
KenergyAI OpenNLC is tailored for light commercial buildings and smaller-scale facilities, including professional offices, medical clinics, retail spaces, K-12 schools, municipal offices, and owner-occupied small to mid-sized properties.
Networked lighting controls (NLCs)
from providers such as nLight, Wattstopper, Enlighted or standalone networked occupancy sensors.
The Raspberry Pi Gateway
running KenergyAI software collects real-time data and intelligently controls the thermostat to optimize usage.
WIFI or BACnet Thermostats
such as Ecobee, Pelican and Honeywell.
Collect occupancy data from sensors in real time to detect usage patterns.
Apply AI-driven models to predict and adjust thermostat setpoints, expanding deadbands in unoccupied zones.
Optimize HVAC operations for efficient heating and cooling, reducing consumption.
Automatic scheduling of the thermostat based on historical occupancy data.
Maintain seamless integration without hardware changes, allowing easy deployment and reversal if needed.
Note: This process is technical enough for integrators to understand implementation, yet straightforward for all users. It supports constant volume systems common in smaller commercial spaces.
