Aura Capital

Aura is an after-hours air conditioning and lighting scheduling system targeting commercial property owners and facility managers. Their value proposition centers around reducing energy waste, streamlining after-hours requests, improving building performance and sustainability, and providing valuable data for decision-making and reporting. They aim to empower tenants by giving them control of their after-hours air conditioning while also easing the burden on building managers. Key benefits include lower operating costs, enhanced tenant satisfaction and retention, and alignment with sustainability goals such as Green Star, NABERS, and LEED certification. The platform offers features like automated scheduling, remote monitoring, custom pricing for individual tenants, integration with Building Management Systems (BMS), and detailed logging for billing and reporting. By providing a web-based system accessible to both tenants and property managers, Aura aims to reduce administrative workload and improve communication. The system can also be retrofitted to older buildings without a BMS, offering a technology upgrade to improve efficiency and sustainability. Aura targets the inefficiencies inherent in traditional air conditioning management by transitioning from manual overrides and fixed timers to an intelligent, data-driven system. The solution caters to commercial buildings with multiple tenants or extended hours of operation. Data-driven insights derived from the platform help facility managers identify high-demand periods, optimize zone usage, and plan preventative maintenance, leading to more efficient and profitable building operations.
