Blackbay Realty Apartment Rental

At 15 Kennedy Drive in Atlantic Canada, owned and managed by BlackBay Realty Apartment Rental  deployed iBOS® Energy to deliver AI-driven HVAC optimization to this multi-unit residential building. Built in 1971, the eight-storey property comprises approximately 165, 000 sq. ft. and 120 residential units. EcoPilot integrated with the building's existing Reliable Controls building automation system (BAS), working alongside AEM, the building automation contractor, to continuously optimize HVAC operation while keeping existing controls and infrastructure in place.

Through real-time, AI-powered HVAC optimization, EcoPilot delivered measurable first-year results. Over a 12-month measurement and verification period (October 17, 2025 – October 15, 2026), the building achieved an 18.3% reduction in natural gas consumption, saving 1,433.3 GJ (398.1 MWh) of energy. This translated into $27,993.07 in avoided natural gas costs, demonstrating the potential for AI-powered optimization to reduce energy consumption and operating expenses in multi-unit residential buildings without requiring costly infrastructure replacements.
