Rebel Against Tradition: facil.ai Agents Are Changing the Game
It’s not evolution, it’s revolution. facil.ai agents redefine how buildings operate and perform.
What is Agentic-AI?
Sometimes called AI-workers, agentic AI takes actions on your behalf. Each facil AI-agent is a virtual facility manager solely dedicated to improving efficiency of equipment.
Which agent is right for you?
At-Scale Rooftop Unit Optimization
Rooftop Units: The facil.ai RTU agent analyzes real-time data to pinpoint energy wastes and automatically makes adjustments. The agent remembers every decision and every outcome, turning a traditional RTU into the “smartest” machine on site; a warehouse of knowledge for future energy-savings.
Perfect for portfolios with hundreds of RTUs (or more)
facil AI-Agent Saves National Retail Chain $2.5 Million on Energy Annually
- Reduces compressor runtime for electricity savings
- Does NOT cycle fans on/off
- Does NOT raise setpoints outside of comfort range.
Central Plant Chiller Optimization
The Central Plant agents balance load demands and refrigerant flow down to the decimal, ensuring peak performance without ever stepping outside the lines. The agents are relentless; watching the chiller performance every minute of every day, constantly learning and improving.
Perfect for campuses and complex chiller plants.
facil AI-Agent Improves Efficiency in University Central Plant by 48%
Package Components:
- Two-agent system optimizing chiller optimization / central plant operations.
- Balances condenser water temperature, cooling tower energy, and chiller energy to find efficiency "balance points."
- Optional Flow Optimizer: Controls/optimizes flow in central plants.

Seamless Integration Into Your Existing BMS
Easy to Use Software Facil.ai integrates directly with your building management system (BMS) like a printer driver—install the lightweight Windows application, and our AI agents connect in minutes.
Zero Infrastructure Changes
- Works with BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks, and proprietary BMS protocols out of the box.
- Tray app is installed on existing Windows Server 2019 or higher, or a Windows Desktop 10 or higher (either a physical machine or a virtual machine)—no new hardware required.
- Mimics human operator behavior, acting as a “front-end controller” that your system recognizes as a trusted user.
Universal Compatibility
- Supports legacy systems and modern IoT-enabled buildings alike.
- Automatically maps and normalizes data points (e.g., HVAC setpoints, sensor readings) for AI processing.
Autonomous &
Self-Improving
Relentless AI That Never Stops Learning
Unlike traditional, rule-based systems, facil.ai’s agents evolve with every decision.
Self-Optimizing Decision Engine
- Uses reinforcement learning (RL) to evaluate the impact of every adjustment on energy use, comfort, and equipment lifespan.
- Mimics human operator behavior, acting as a “front-end controller” that your system recognizes as a trusted user.
Prescriptive, Not Just Predictive:
- Moves beyond alarms and dashboards to autonomously execute optimizations (e.g., adjusting setpoints, staging equipment).
- Balances short-term energy savings with long-term asset health (e.g., avoiding short-cycling compressors).
Safety-First AI: Guardrails and Fail-Safes
Compliance. Comfort. Control.
Our AI agents never compromise safety. Every action is bounded by strict operational and comfort standards.
Hard-Coded Operational Limits
- AI cannot override equipment safety thresholds (e.g., chiller discharge temps, valve pressure limits).
- Comfort settings (e.g., ASHRAE 55 thermal comfort ranges) are enforced as immutable boundaries unless specifically requested otherwise.
Secure, Encrypted Workflow
- Data is anonymized and encrypted end-to-end via TLS 1.2 or 1.3/HTTPS.
- No additional holes in the firewall are required.
- GDPR-compliant data anonymization; no PII or sensitive operational data stored.
Fail-Safe Architecture
- If connectivity to the cloud is lost, the BMS resumes full local control immediately.
- All AI-driven adjustments are time-stamped and auditable for compliance.
