The Cost of an Unpredicted Power Loss

A single electrical incident at a main switchboard can cost an Australian commercial property over AUD 60,000 in emergency repairs, temporary power, after-hours labour and consultant fees — before factoring in tenant claims, business disruption and reputational damage.

RFID Thermal Sensors

Wireless, passive thermal sensors retrofit to existing busbars, MCCB/ACB terminals and cable lugs — no rewiring required.

AI Analytics Engine

Learned thermal fingerprints, residual temperature and Health Index detect developing faults before they trip the board.

Real-time Alerts

Automatic notifications to facility teams when an anomaly is detected — act before tenants see an outage.

Smart Dashboard

Portfolio-wide visualisation of switchboard health with predictive maintenance scheduling and risk forecast.

Key Benefits

From Corrective to Predictive Maintenance

Reduce emergency repair costs by up to 80%
Prevent unplanned outages and tenant disruption
Strengthen AS/NZS 3000 compliance posture
Extend switchboard and asset lifespan
Minimise business interruption and insurance risk
24/7 remote monitoring across multi-site portfolios

Platform

EnergyOS — Your Building's Brain

A unified platform that turns raw building data into actionable insight through dashboards, AI, and continuous optimization.

Why It Matters

The Need for Energy Intelligence

Modern buildings are complex energy consumers with hidden inefficiencies. Without intelligent tracking, excessive standby power, phase imbalances, and equipment anomalies remain invisible—wasting capital and inflating carbon footprints. Watch how real-time energy intelligence is essential for sustainable operations.

The Solution

EnergyOS Platform in Action

EnergyOS transforms disparate sensor feeds and utility meters into an integrated building brain. With live tenant billing, carbon reporting, and load shedding recommendations, our software turns passive systems into active cost-saving assets.

Green Building Technology

Passive Cooling & Advanced Nano Coating

Cutting-edge radiative cooling and nano-engineered surface technologies that passively reject solar heat and enable self-cleaning facades — extending BES's energy optimisation capabilities to the material level.

Glass building facade with nano coating reflecting sunlight
Working Principle

Redirecting Heat Back to the Universe

Our XCOOL radiative cooling paint reflects incident sunlight (0.3–2.5 µm) while emitting thermal radiation through the atmospheric transparency window (8–13 µm) directly into the cold outer space (~3 K). This dual mechanism enables sub-ambient cooling with no electricity required.

  • Reflects UV, visible & NIR solar radiation
  • Emits mid-infrared heat through the atmospheric window
  • Photocatalytic self-cleaning via TiO₂ nano coating
  • Lowers cooling load and HVAC energy consumption

Conventional Reflective Paint vs XCOOL Radiative Cooling

Conventional / White Paint

  • Reflects visible light only
  • Absorbs UV and NIR — surfaces still heat up
  • No mid-IR thermal emission
  • Cannot reach sub-ambient temperatures
  • Accumulates dirt, performance degrades over time

XCOOL Radiative Cooling Paint

  • ~95% solar reflectance across UV, visible & NIR
  • ~96% emissivity in 8–13 µm atmospheric window
  • Achieves true sub-ambient cooling
  • Photocatalytic self-cleaning surface
  • Up to 10 years durability, ~0 VOCs

Key Benefits & Capabilities

Full-Spectrum Reflection

Full-Spectrum Reflection

Reflects UV, visible light, and near-infrared (0.3–2.5 µm) — far beyond standard white paint.

Sub-Ambient Cooling

Sub-Ambient Cooling

Emits heat through the 8–13 µm atmospheric window into deep space (~3 K) for true passive cooling.

Self-Cleaning Windows

Self-Cleaning Windows
