Nov. 29, 2013: Maker of Intelligent Comfort Software for Buildings Announces Seed Financing
Software Allows Building Occupants to Control Heating and Cooling in their Work Environments
OAKLAND, Calif. — Building Robotics, creator of intelligent comfort software for occupants in commercial buildings, has announced a $1.14 million seed financing round by Claremont Creek Ventures (CCV), Google Ventures, Formation 8, Navitas Capital, Red Swan Ventures, and prominent angel investors.
Building Robotics said its initial software product, Comfy, is designed to meaningfully reconnect people to the heating and cooling in their work environments, providing more comfortable spaces while saving energy. The company said the software installs quickly and easily and is compatible with most existing building management systems, while providing occupants with a mobile and web application. It provides instant warm or cool air to people, while incorporating their usage patterns and feedback into a machine-learning algorithm that reduces energy.
