Platform Blueprint
See everything your building is telling you.
The data foundation product. Pulse connects to your existing BMS, energy meters, and sensor networks — standardises all incoming data — and delivers it through fully customisable dashboards and automated reports. No AI, no control, no disruption. Pure visibility. Pulse is the entry point for clients not yet ready to commit to AI investment, and the data layer that makes every other Carnot product more powerful than they are.
Know what's wrong before it breaks.
The fault intelligence product. Sentinel monitors all electrical and mechanical systems across a building — HVAC, VFDs, escalators, and distribution — and analyses patterns in the data, and surface equipment issues before they cause downtime or costly emergency repairs. Sentinel is read-only — it never writes back to your BMS, it observes, analyses, and alerts. Your team decides what to do with the information.
Cut energy costs. Automatically. Every day.
Carnot's flagship product. Optima takes predictive, real-time AI control of a building's entire HVAC system — both the supply side (chiller plant, cooling towers, pumps) and demand side (AHUs, FCUs, CRACs/CRAHs) — and continuously optimises to minimise energy without compromising comfort or uptime.
Optima is the only Carnot product that writes back to the building. It is an active autonomous operator — not a monitoring dashboard.
Ask anything. Know everything. Act instantly.
The conversational AI layer that sits across the entire Carnot platform. Vera is an agentic AI assistant — not a basic chatbot, but a system that understands your building's full data history and can retrieve any information on demand, generate reports from a single prompt, surface fault alerts, query energy performance, and produce custom charts — all through natural language.
Vera is most powerful when fed data from Pulse, Sentinel, and Optima. But it can also connect directly to existing BMS as a standalone product with additional mapping setup.
Pulse is the entry point for clients not yet ready to commit to AI investment, and the data layer that makes every other Carnot product more powerful than they are.
