The Spark Behind Pilotlight

The Situation

Our buildings are old and rapidly aging with about half of them constructed before 1980. 

The potential to reduce energy consumption in existing and new commercial and public buildings is enormous.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, an average of 30% of the energy used in buildings is wasted.

The Problem

While buildings in the U.S. have made strides in energy efficiency over recent years, there is still massive room for improvement. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), buildings accounted for at least 18% of total energy consumption in 2019. 

Yet despite advancements in energy-efficient technologies and green building practices, many commercial and public buildings still operate well below optimal efficiency levels.

Decarbonizing The Built Environment

The Opportunity

Only 3% of building owners are capitalizing on energy tax incentives and benefits. 

Pilotlight changes that by unifying and automating the interactions between engineers, contractors, and building owners to maximize energy savings.
