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.
Northern Arizona University faced retiring tradespeople and 6,000+ scattered building documents, so the team used generative AI to extract system relationships and organize them into a searchable knowledge graph. The result: faster onboarding and less reliance on tribal knowledge.
CannonDesign watched a BAS access quote climb from $66K to $100K, then brought in an MSI to review the architecture and cut it to $29K.
Northern Arizona University’s CIO realized that aggregating IoT data wasn’t the hard part; relational context was. After choosing buy over build, the team moved from raw BACnet feeds to ontology-driven HVAC control, achieving 30% energy savings.
At LAX, environmental reporting once meant field visits, clipboards, and emailed meter photos. The airport is now connecting 1.2M+ data points and normalizing what already exists to improve compliance and create new sustainability opportunities.
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.
CannonDesign added smart building scope to their office after bids were in, and Div 23/26 partners didn’t understand what “IDL” meant to their scope. They had to redraw Division 25 boundaries and clarify responsibilities to prevent the job from slipping.
