At kW Engineering, their goal is to empower your long-term success focusing on impactful, action-oriented, and results-driven solutions to meet your energy efficiency goals. Their proprietary platform, kW Link is an advanced energy information system (EIS) integrated with monitoring data, analytics, fault detection and diagnostics (FDD), real-time performance alerts, and reporting. However, it doesnāt stop there. It is also a one-stop shop for project management, managing and measuring goals, and communicating with your team. Powered by SkySpark, it can be installed on-premises or hosted in the cloud and seamlessly integrates with legacy or proprietary BAS or BMS.
Founded in 1998 by forward-thinking engineers, kW Engineering was established with the goal of becoming the leading technical experts in identifying opportunities to save energy and enhance their customerās bottom lines in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. As a nationally certified Minority Business Enterprise, they have become a recognized leader in the energy industry, boasting a dedicated technical staff comprising over 55 energy engineers including 22 Licensed P.E.s and over 75 total staff. They offer a comprehensive suite of services to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions while increasing reliability, resiliency, and comfort through energy efficiency, decarbonization, and smart building solutions.
Further illustrating their deep expertise in optimizing buildings, recent years have witnessed kW Engineering's emergence as a trailblazing provider of monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx) services, underpinned by their innovative ākW Linkā software, built on the SkySpark platform. This technology serves as their preferred building analytics software, offering an automated, data-driven approach for deep retro-commissioning of existing facilities and commissioning new construction projects. To date, they have deployed SkySpark across over 20 million square feet of buildings including 8 million square feet of hospital and healthcare facilities. kW Engineering collaborates with the nationās top institutions, including cutting-edge technology firms, higher education campuses, municipalities, and hospitals.
Lincoln Property Companyās Chris Lelle realized that burdened engineers canāt each manage 300,000 sq ft by diving deep into BAS dataāso 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 happenābefore devices ever reach the field.
Despite hefty efficiency and sustainability goals, Databank faces a recurring hurdle: customers fear that AI-driven or automated BMS sequences might compromise critical uptime.
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 acceptableāand 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.
