Emerging & Frontier · Smart Building Retrofit & Monitoring

Sell the savings you can meter.
Retrofit pays for the sensors.

Meter and sensor time series find the schedule faults, setpoint drift, and equipment cycling that waste the most energy. Priced the way the trade already prices — audit fee, retrofit priced per measure, monitoring billed per square foot monthly. Booking, dispatch, proof of work, the invoice and the settlement are one record, from the first call to the last dollar.

The spine

One record, from the first call to the last dollar.

Meter and sensor time series find the schedule faults, setpoint drift, and equipment cycling that waste the most energy. Ask for it in plain language; the workspace does the part that is the same every time, and leaves you the part that is judgement.

  1. 01

    Intake

    Commercial office and retail property owners arrives through a form, a call, a text or a referral, and lands as one contact with one history — not four copies in four inboxes. The call is recorded, transcribed and filed against them.

  2. 02

    Price

    The quote is built on audit fee, retrofit priced per measure, monitoring billed per square foot monthly. Two people pricing the same job get the same number, because the basis lives in the workspace and not in somebody's head.

  3. 03

    Dispatch

    Accepted work becomes building record: systems, square footage, occupancy schedule on a schedule, assigned to a real person with the drive time, the parts and the access notes already attached.

  4. 04

    Prove

    Building record: systems, square footage, occupancy schedule is captured in the field, timestamped and located, and lands in the customer's own portal before the crew is off the property.

  5. 05

    Settle

    The invoice is generated from the closed job, not retyped from it. Card, ACH and financing sit inside the document, and every dollar — including what a referral partner is owed — is written to the XODIAK ledger.

What it replaces

Retrofits sold on modeled savings that nobody ever verified.

Every smart building retrofit & monitoring operation eventually runs on the same four things: a calendar, a phone, a notebook and someone's memory. They work until the business is big enough that they cannot, and the failure is always the same — the thing that was true in the field never reached the office.

  • Retrofits sold on modeled savings that nobody ever verified
  • Building automation systems drifting out of schedule unnoticed
  • Incentive programs missed because the paperwork lagged the install

None of that is a discipline problem. It is what happens when the estimate, the schedule, the photos and the invoice live in four systems that do not know about each other.

What the platform sees

The assessment happens
before the truck moves.

Meter and sensor time series find the schedule faults, setpoint drift, and equipment cycling that waste the most energy.

It does not set your prices. Quantities come from what was actually measured or counted; the rates come from your own book. That is the difference between a tool that guesses and a tool that shows its work — and it is why two people on your team pricing the same job land on the same number.

  • Every assessment is attached to the record it was made against, with the inputs kept
  • Runs on the platform's own gateway — one budget, one log, no model you did not choose
  • Wrong once, corrected once: your correction becomes the basis for the next one
The workspace

16 modules. Every one a real surface, wired to the others.

This is not an app that integrates with five other apps. It is one data spine — the customer, the job, the money — that every module reads and writes. xBUILDINGIQx inherits the operating core every service business needs, then adds what smart building retrofit & monitoring specifically requires.

Customers

CRM (Contacts, Companies, Deals)

Contacts, companies, and every deal in a pipeline you can see down. The customer record is one record, not one per app.

Comms

Calendar & Meetings

One calendar for crews, customers and you. Availability, booking links, drive time and the jobs themselves in the same grid.

Delivery

Tasks

Assigned work with a due date and an owner, hung off the customer and the job rather than a group chat.

Operations

ERP - Work Orders

The work order is the spine: scheduled, dispatched, documented, closed and billed as one object, never re-keyed.

Comms

Client Portal & Intake

Your customer's own view: what was scheduled, what was done, the photos, the quote, the invoice, the receipt. No login support calls.

Money

Invoices

Invoice from the closed job, with the line items the job produced. Terms, reminders and aging that chases itself.

Money

Payments & Checkout

Card, ACH and financing at the moment the customer says yes — in the quote, in the portal, and in the field.

Comms

Messaging (Email, SMS, Voice)

Email, SMS and voice against the same contact record, so the whole thread is one thread whichever way the customer replied.

Growth

Campaign Manager

Reach the list you already have — seasonal reminders, renewals, win-backs — with the outcome attributed back to the job that paid for it.

Money

XODIAK Chain & Treasury

The ledger. Every dollar of revenue, cost and referral credit written to a chain you can audit, with settlement attached.

Intelligence

Analysis & Insights

The numbers behind the business, read off the records you already keep. No spreadsheet export, no separate BI seat.

Operations

ERP - Inventory

What is on the truck, what is in the shop, and what has to be ordered — tied to the jobs that will consume it.

Operations

ERP - Vendors & Purchasing

Suppliers, price books and purchase orders with the real cost of a job attached to the job, not to the month.

Deals

Deal Rooms

A shared, permissioned room for a big job: documents, scope, questions, approvals and signature in one place.

Intelligence

Knowledge Graph & RAG (Axon)

Everything the business knows — manuals, specs, past jobs, transcripts — searchable by meaning, and answerable by the platform's own assistant.

Partners

Partners & Revenue Share

Referral sources, subcontractors and channel partners with the revenue share calculated and settled, not remembered.

Operations

What the workspace actually keeps.

A scaffolded xBUILDINGIQx workspace opens with these already in it. Not empty tables waiting for a consultant — the records, the workflows and the integrations this trade runs on.

Records the ERP keeps

  • Building record: systems, square footage, occupancy schedule
  • Energy baseline by meter and end use
  • Retrofit measure list with modeled savings and payback
  • Sensor and controller inventory with commissioning status
  • Measurement and verification report per period

Workflows it ships with

  • Energy audit → baseline → ranked retrofit measure list
  • Retrofit installation with commissioning verification
  • Continuous monitoring with fault detection alerts
  • Measurement and verification reporting against the baseline

Integrations wired first

  • Building automation systems
  • Utility interval data
  • Incentive and rebate programs
  • Stripe recurring

The four numbers you check

  • Verified savings per building per year
  • Retrofit payback period achieved versus modeled
  • Monitoring subscription retention
  • Faults detected and resolved per quarter
Who it is for

Built for the buyer you already sell to.

  • Commercial office and retail property owners
  • Schools, municipalities, and healthcare campuses
  • Multifamily operators with common-area load
How the business makes money
  • Energy audits and retrofit projects
  • Monthly monitoring and fault detection subscriptions
  • Measurement and verification reporting with incentive capture

Every one of those lines is a revenue type the workspace can price, schedule, document and invoice on its own terms — recurring contracts do not get bolted onto a one-off quote form.

Signals

Work that is about to exist.

Most smart building retrofit & monitoring businesses find work after somebody else has already decided to buy. The platform's signal layer looks earlier — at the public record, and at what a camera can see from the road.

Opportunity scanning

The public record, filtered to you

Permits, filings, closures, listings, weather events and WARN notices, matched against what you sell and the territory you sell it in. Dated and sourced, so you can act on it rather than believe it.

Drive-by intel

A condition, seen from the road

The platform's drive-by layer reads public street-level and camera imagery and catalogues what it finds as a located, described condition — an asset in a state somebody eventually has to deal with. It tells you the need exists. Whether you want it is still your call.

Your own territory

Deduped against your pipeline

A signal that matches a customer you already have does not arrive as a new lead. It arrives on the record it belongs to, which is the difference between a useful alert and another inbox.

Drive-by intel is a platform capability, not a lead subscription. It is described here because it is how xBUILDINGIQx finds work; it is not a promise of a volume of jobs. See the drive-by layer.

What it costs

Start with the workspace. Pay for what you switch on.

xBUILDINGIQx is not sold as a seat licence with a floor you have to grow into. The workspace scaffolds, you run it, and the premium surfaces unlock individually — either on a monthly unlock or against a credit balance you top up when you want to.

The X Standard
Cross·
Connect·
Protect·

Every xVERTICALx on this network — xBUILDINGIQx among them — is a face wrapped around the same engine. The leading and trailing x are platform brackets: Cross-Connect Protocol in, Cross-Connect Protocol out.

Cross — bridge any vertical to any resource. Connect — one identity, one ledger, one settlement rail. Protect — verified identity and an auditable chain from edge to core. See all 74 verticals.

Questions

The ones that actually get asked.

Is xBUILDINGIQx a separate product from the Biz Dev App?

No. xBUILDINGIQx is the smart building retrofit & monitoring configuration of the Biz Dev App — the same platform, the same ledger, the same support, scaffolded with the 16 modules and 5 record types this trade actually uses. If the business later adds a second line of work, it does not mean a second subscription; it means another vertical switched on in the same workspace.

How does xBUILDINGIQx price a job?

On audit fee, retrofit priced per measure, monitoring billed per square foot monthly. The basis lives in the workspace rather than in an estimator's head, so the same job quoted by two people produces the same number. Your own rates, your own catalogue — the platform supplies the structure and the arithmetic, never the prices.

What does it connect to that we already use?

Building automation systems, Utility interval data, Incentive and rebate programs, Stripe recurring are wired first, because those are what a smart building retrofit & monitoring business is usually already running. Anything else goes through the xCONNECTx public API catalogue rather than a custom build.

What happens to the data we already have?

It comes in. The archive import pipeline takes historical customers, jobs and invoices and lands them as real records — searchable, reportable, attached to the right customer — rather than as a folder of PDFs nobody opens. The point of moving is to keep the last five years, not to start over.

Get started

Open the smart building retrofit & monitoring workspace and put one real job through it.

Not a demo with sample data. Bring a customer you already have, quote the work on audit fee, retrofit priced per measure, monitoring billed per square foot monthly, run it, and see whether the invoice writes itself.
