Decarbonization that survives an audit.
CRE portfolios face California SB 253-style disclosure on 2026 emissions, GRESB embodied-carbon scoring (now scored, not informational), and tenants who increasingly expect a credible net-zero pathway. Ipnops Grid is the operating layer for hitting those targets — and the audit trail to prove it.

Use cases
What the platform actually does, here.
BEMS-grade load orchestration
BACnet and Modbus ingestion across HVAC, chillers, lighting, plug loads, and DHW. Per-zone setpoint scheduling driven by occupancy sensors, weather forecasts, and tariff signals. Documented hybrid AI-IoT BEMS deployments in 2026 are achieving 20-40% energy reductions depending on building typology and control granularity.
Peak-demand reduction
Predictive controllers shift HVAC + EV charging loads off-peak. Adaptive systems in 2026 are cutting peak HVAC load by up to 90% during demand-charge windows without comfort impact. Documented MPC heat-pump deployments cut EUR/kWh from 0.36 to 0.12 — a 67% reduction in electricity procurement cost.
VPP enrollment for the building
Aggregated chillers, BESS, and EV depots become a single dispatchable asset. The platform handles IEEE 2030.5 / CSIP comms, OpenADR 3.0 event handling, and the operator-side reporting required by RTOs implementing FERC Order 2222 (CAISO live since 2024; ISO-NE November 2026; PJM February 2028).
Decarbonization & disclosure
Operational and embodied-carbon accounting at the asset and portfolio level. Outputs map cleanly to TCFD, SBTi, GRESB Real Estate Standard (with embodied carbon now scored in 2026), CDP, and California SB 253 / SB 261 reporting templates. The model registry lets auditors verify each emission factor and forecast was produced by a cited model.
Tenant submetering
Per-tenant AMI feeds plus circuit-level monitoring at distribution boards. Tenants get a clean energy report; operators get a tenant-cost-recovery feed; management gets a portfolio-wide rollup. The platform handles the apportionment of shared resources (lobby HVAC, garage lighting, district heating allocation) by occupancy-weighted formulas.
Tenant comfort and ESG-as-amenity
Real-time IAQ, thermal comfort, and lighting optimization with the same MPC models that drive load shifting. Anchor tenants increasingly demand transparency on building decarbonization as a leasing requirement; the platform produces the evidence they need without bolt-on consultants.
How a deployment runs
From baseline to portfolio-wide autonomy.
- 01
Onboarding: BMS read-only ingestion, AMI integration, asset register import (CIM or vendor schema). Two weeks per asset typical.
- 02
Baselining: 30-day shadow period — the platform observes, doesn't act. Output is a per-asset baseline + a portfolio rollup.
- 03
Per-asset MPC: setpoints for HVAC + DHW + lighting move under MPC. Comfort bounds and override rules approved per tenant lease.
- 04
Per-asset autonomy: load-shifting + DR + VPP enrollment go live. Capacity and DR earnings flow to the operator's bill credits.
- 05
Portfolio rollup: real-time decarbonization tracking against SBTi targets, embodied-carbon accounting against GRESB methodology, audit-grade dispatch logs.
