Clockworks Analytics is an essential smart building intelligence platform that provides data-driven insights into property operations for facility and energy managers. Clockworks’ Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) platform plugs into existing BMS and metering systems and analyzes thousands of HVAC data points to prioritize the most urgent tasks related to energy performance, indoor air quality and equipment operation. Their unique information model goes beyond simple fault detection by identifying the relationships between issues, diagnosing the root cause, and providing clear, recommended actions.
Clockworks Analytics was founded in 2008 within MIT’s Building Science Department. Since its founding, their team has been focused on equipping clients with cutting-edge technology to significantly enhance their operations and improve their buildings’ performance. This means breaking the existing cycle of reactive operations and maintenance in the building industry. They provide software and intelligent analytics that empowers our clients to drive proactive and strategic operations—ushering in the next generation of smarter facilities management.
Their enterprise customers and controls and mechanical service partners representing 450M square feet in 30 countries across the world, have saved over $37M and completed 37 tasks using Clockworks’ analytics-based monitoring to proactively address building health issues, identify energy savings, and avoid equipment failures.
Lincoln Property Company’s Chris Lelle realized that burdened engineers can’t each manage 300,000 sq ft by diving deep into BAS data—so he used FDD to simplify the troubleshooting his techs need to do.
For years, complaints about comfort at a Microsoft campus were attributed to BAS issues. Packet-level network data told a different story and exposed 118,000 hours of missed runtime.
Goldman Sachs detailed how it scaled a global smart building program across 94 sites by changing where cybersecurity decisions happen—before devices ever reach the field.
Delta Air Lines and JLL made a deliberate call at LaGuardia Terminal C: stop relying on engineers to walk rooms multiple times a day just to confirm conditions were still acceptable—and replace those rounds with standardized, proactive alerting.
Five years ago, Clockworks Analytics made a bet: fault detection would only reach most commercial buildings if it could work without deep owner-side engineering teams.
