Software helps us spot opportunity but the people act on it. Come see what makes Cortex the energy intelligence platform that actually delivers results. Hint: it’s not more graphs.
Budget Variance and Portfolio Insights
Property managers and asset owners get clear variance-to-budget views and portfolio-level energy KPIs without building spreadsheets from raw data. Set aside your manual tracking pages and step into a platform where your energy data is audited, actionable and real-time.
Real Time Actionable Insights
Arm your operating engineers with an intuitive energy control panel that provides proven support and coaching every single day. Engineers act with confidence, armed with cost and tariff context, so they can maximize tenant experience while controlling cost and waste.
Replace Aging Equipment without CapEx
When optimization runs into outdated equipment, Cortex funds major mechanical and infrastructure upgrades — mechanical replacements, BMS controls upgrades, metering — with zero upfront cost to ownership entirely off-balance sheet. Repayment is recovered through a modest operating expense adder on tenant energy bills, offset by the efficiency savings the upgraded systems generate. The result is a measurable improvement to NOI and asset value without competing for capital allocation or adding to the debt stack.
One platform. Every layer of your team.
