Capital Efficiency in Building AI: How Facil.AI Stacks Up

|
By Keith Gipson, Ken Sinclair
| Automated Buildings
I always pay attention when Joseph Aamidor publishes something that puts numbers around the building technology market. Joe, of Aamidor Consulting, provides smart insights and trusted advice to built environment professionals, investors, and executives, and one of his recent comparisons caught my attention. He looked at several digital twin and building operations platform companies through a simple capital efficiency measure: funding raised per square foot deployed.

As the industry debates AI governance, it is time to address a fundamental question: Why do we act like AI is a new phenomenon? AI has been present in our industry for nearly a decade—from “fuzzy logic” in the 80s to modern deployments by Carrier, Siemens, and Honeywell. It is time to move past the debate and focus on execution. The “MondayLive!” crew and much of the industry are currently obsessed with (human) AI governance.

| Automated Buildings
I see a lot of talk in our industry about how our buildings are not “ready” for AI? And from what I’ve seen, frankly, much of this comes as philosophical arguments from non-practitioners of AI control system companies. I can also appreciate the growing industry focus on AI Native and semantic standards such as ASHRAE 223P and ASHRAE 231P. Any effort that improves interoperability, portability, and consistency across building systems has value.

🤥 Seems there’s lots of companies out there trying to establish credibility by “demystifying” AI? 📣 But it takes more than just talk 💰It takes real and verifiable energy savings. Off the electric bill! ✅ You can’t fake that. 🙌🏼 They should also be able to give at least an overview of and ultimately demo their solution LIVE, like we do.

📚Reading between the lines a bit, this was the start of the Open Building Information eXchange (OBIX) movement. In fact, my company IFS, hosted the very first “XML Symposium” at BuilConn Anto Budiardjo to PROVE that XML could in fact be used as an open, secure, IT friendly protocol 👋 This is when I met my good friend Brian Tarbert. ☁️ facil.ai partner, TCS | Building Automation Systems.

Introducing our Newest Contributing Editor Keith Gipson, CEO & CTO of facil.ai Corp

By Keith Gipson
| Automated Buildings
Hard to believe that it’s been three years since I founded facil.ai Corp after leaving Phoenix Energy Technologies. I started it right when the COVID pandemic hit the U.S. During these past three years I’ve struggled with personal and health issues, as well as the “grind” of life in a startup company, building the next generation AI Optimization platform for buildings. When I first posted about it, I referenced the movie “Moneyball”. More so than ever, that’s still my vision. What’s next for me?
