Energy Management Systems for Multifamily Properties

Verdant energy management solutions give operators centralized visibility and remote control of HVAC across their property, with no recurring fees.

Why Verdant

Why Multifamily Operators Choose Verdant

  • Full Remote Control & Visibility

    Remotely monitor and adjust every thermostat across your portfolio from a single, centralized platform.

  • Up to 45% Reduction in HVAC Runtime*

    Lower energy costs across every unit in your portfolio.

  • No Recurring or Hidden Fees

    One-time cost, nothing added later.

  • Preventative HVAC Maintenance Alerts

    Real-time alerts when a unit shows signs of underperformance, before it becomes a costly repair.

  • BACnet & Open API Compatible

    Integrates with BACnet and other building systems through Verdant’s open API.

  • Demand Response & Peak Load Management

    Participate in demand response programs and manage peak load to reduce energy costs further.

*Runtime reduction is calculated by comparing operation time data for a North American sample of Verdant occupancy-sensing setbacks against traditional thermostat settings with no setbacks. Reductions may vary based on equipment type and condition, insulation, climate, and temperature adjustment size and frequency.

Platform

One Platform for Operators and Residents

Whether utilities are sub-metered or included in rent, Verdant cuts energy waste regardless of who pays the bill.

How It Works

Savings in Unoccupied Units, Comfort When Residents Return

Using intelligent occupancy detection, Verdant smart thermostats adjust temperatures within configured limits when units are unoccupied, helping properties save up to 20% on energy bills while maintaining resident comfort.

  • Advanced Occupancy Detection

    Scans for movement and body heat, letting unoccupied unit temperatures drift within predefined thresholds.

  • Setpoint Limits

    Prevents residents from setting temperatures above or below predefined limits.

  • Dynamic Recovery Time

    Restores each resident’s chosen temperature within a predefined time period.

Integrations

  • Open API

    Connect PMS software, door locks, lighting, and other IoT devices through the Verdant API.

  • BACnet & BMS

    Integrate with BACnet and broader building management systems.

Sustainability

Lower Energy Use, Measurable Sustainability Progress

Reducing HVAC runtime in unoccupied units lowers energy consumption across the property. Verdant energy management systems provide the energy reduction data multifamily owners need for ESG reporting and CO2 reduction goals.

  • Reduce Energy Consumption

    Cut unnecessary heating and cooling in unoccupied units across the property.

  • Support ESG Reporting

    Use Verdant energy reduction data in portfolio ESG reports.

  • Work Toward CO2 Goals

    Lower HVAC runtime contributes to carbon emission reduction targets.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Verdant energy management systems help multifamily properties reach ESG goals?

Verdant energy management systems reduce HVAC runtime by up to 45%, increasing net operating income (NOI) without compromising resident comfort. The system monitors and controls energy use across multifamily buildings and provides real-time data on energy reduction that supports ESG reporting and carbon emission targets.

How can I make my multifamily building more energy efficient?

An energy audit is a good starting point for identifying inefficiencies and potential savings. From there, installing energy-saving smart thermostats and adding an energy optimization service such as Verdant Plus lets you monitor and optimize energy use in real time.

How do I get started with Verdant for my multifamily property?

Book a web demo to get started. Verdant energy experts assess your needs, building type, and HVAC equipment to recommend the right technology. Once installed, the system provides centralized heating and cooling management through a cloud-based management portal.

What are the benefits of a centralized energy management system for multifamily properties?

A centralized platform gives operators real-time energy savings data and equipment efficiency monitoring across every building in the portfolio. Operators can change temperatures remotely, put units in vacant mode, and manage user permissions from the app, reducing energy consumption, lowering utility costs, and extending HVAC lifespan.

How will Verdant affect residents?

Verdant eliminates unnecessary heating and cooling when units and common spaces are empty. When residents leave, the temperature drifts within configured setback limits, and the resident’s preferred temperature is restored when they return.
