Rethinking Building Energy Control
About BERT
Smarter Energy Use Shouldn’t Make Life Harder
That was the idea behind BERT. Not another system to learn, not another behavior to change — just better visibility and control over the devices that have always been hardest to reach. BERT uses your existing network to automate plug-load management quietly in the background, so your team can stay focused on everything else.
Every night and every weekend, when your facilities empty out, thousands of devices keep running. Copiers, exhaust fans, water dispensers, and more — drawing power in spaces no one is using, adding up in ways that rarely get noticed. Even buildings with automation systems have this blind spot. Plug loads fall through the cracks.
BERT fills those cracks. From offices to campuses we give organizations the control to reduce that waste, support better building performance, and manage energy in a way that actually holds up in practice.
At BERT, we believe that the smartest kilowatt-hour is the one you never use.
It sounds simple. But most buildings are still missing the tools to act on it. Traditional automation systems do a good job with lighting and HVAC — the loads everyone can see. What they miss is everything still plugged in when the building is supposed to be off. Those devices don’t show up on dashboards. They don’t follow schedules. They just run.
BERT connects to your existing network to change that. From one system, you get visibility and control over plug loads and hardwired devices across a single building or many — so you can see what’s running, automate when it shouldn’t be, and stop paying for energy no one is using. It’s a straightforward idea. We’ve built everything around making it work.
