R-Zero

R-Zero is the Physical AI platform for buildings. It connects to existing building systems, adds occupancy and environmental quality sensors, and continuously finds operational waste, ranked by financial impact. Then it acts, verifies the savings, and keeps looking, with no retrofit or new HVAC equipment.

R-Zero’s sensors show how spaces are used and how the indoor environment is affected. Machine learning runs on the device, so only anonymized data like room status and headcount leaves the sensor, without the privacy liability. Environmental monitoring tracks CO2, particulates, temperature, and humidity to balance comfort with energy use.

Through integration with the Neeve Edge platform, R-Zero’s building performance, occupancy, and environmental data integrate seamlessly into your building’s operational network, without introducing cybersecurity vulnerabilities or complex IT overhead.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Continuous Building Savings: Uses data from your existing building management system to find operational waste around the clock and ranks every finding by financial impact, starting with zero-cost fixes.
• Occupancy Analytics: Shows how rooms and floors are actually used, with machine learning on the device and only anonymized data like room status and headcount leaving the sensor.
• Indoor Air Quality Monitoring: Tracks CO2, particulates, temperature, and humidity in real time.
• AI Energy Efficiency: Provides actionable triggers for HVAC systems to respond dynamically to changing occupancy and environmental conditions.

Key Benefits

• Lower energy costs, fast: Savings can start with zero-cost setpoint and schedule fixes, approved by your team before anything changes.
• Occupancy-Based Demand-Controlled HVAC Optimization: Reduce unnecessary ventilation in unoccupied spaces to minimize energy waste while meeting strict ventilation standards.
• Turnkey OT Security: Eliminate traditional third-party sensor integration security risks by routing data through Neeve’s zero-trust architecture
• Use cases: Energy Optimization, Occupancy & Space Utilization, Indoor Air Quality

How It Works (Neeve + R-Zero)

R-Zero sensors and analytics applications deploy within the secure containerized environment on the Neeve Edge Node.

1. Zero-Trust Edge Deployment: R-Zero software runs isolated on local hardware, ensuring IoT/IAQ traffic remains segmented from critical operational technology (OT) systems.
2. Edge Data Aggregation: IAQ telemetry is processed locally on the Neeve Edge Node, drastically reducing latency for real-time HVAC automation.
3. Secure Outbound Sync: Performance data syncs securely to the cloud via Neeve’s encrypted cloud tunnel without opening inbound firewall ports.
