Winter Is Coming! Why Is Your Building Heating Empty Spaces?
Up coming winter brings a few more grey hairs to facility managers. Why? Because it's that time of year when energy bills start climbing to eye-watering levels.
Freezing temperatures and the heating season are approaching, but building systems respond the same way they always have: running at full capacity. Ventilation keeps blowing and heating keeps pumping, whether the building is occupied by a hundred people or just a cleaner with the coffee machine switched on.
Buildings are designed for the worst-case scenario. The problem is that their systems operate as if every day were that worst-case scenario.
A Building That Knows What It Needs
Nuuka's AI integrates with existing building automation systems without requiring new equipment or major renovations.
It adjusts ventilation, heating, and cooling based on actual demand, making adjustments as frequently as every 1–5 minutes.
In buildings using Nuuka's AI optimization, energy consumption has typically decreased by 10–30%. At the same time, indoor conditions have become more stable, while manual monitoring work has been reduced by up to 75%.
Oodi: Helsinki's Living Room Stays Warm Without Wasting Energy
At Helsinki Central Library Oodi, occupancy varies dramatically, from quiet mornings to busy Saturdays.
Nuuka's AI platform, combined with an extensive sensor network, ensures optimal indoor conditions for every situation while eliminating unnecessary energy consumption.
All building systems are monitored automatically, and AI-powered diagnostics identify faults and provide maintenance teams with actionable recommendations.
And Helsinki didn't stop at just one building. The city has connected more than 700 public buildings to Nuuka's platform.
London: 35% Less Energy Used for Ventilation
At Colt Technology Services' 7,432 m² office building in London, electricity consumption for ventilation decreased by 35%, without compromising indoor air quality.
That translates into annual savings of approximately 32.7 MWh and a reduction of around 8.7 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) per year.
The results have been independently verified by the European Green Digital Coalition (EGDC).
From Libraries and Offices to Airport Terminals
Nuuka's platform currently covers approximately 1,500 buildings and 3 million square metres, including schools, daycare centres, retail properties, offices, and even an airport terminal.
The potential for savings isn't determined by the type of building.
It's determined by how much energy is currently being wasted.
Winter Is Coming Anyway. Energy Waste Is Optional.
Nuuka's AI optimization works with existing building systems, meaning savings can start as early as this heating season.
