Partners & licensing
Build with HEDS.
HEDS is a platform: patented hardware configurations, factory-installed optimization software, a validated field-data library, and an operating playbook. For owners and manufacturers, contractors, energy providers and real-estate service firms, that platform is a durable competitive edge that can create billions of dollars of added value — available through manufacturing, licensing and strategic partnerships.
HVAC OEMs & component manufacturers
Lead the category.
For AHU and component specialists, HEDS is how you take market share: units have been built on standard OEM production lines with no retooling and no non-OEM parts, and cutting your owner-clients' operating costs by >50% sells more of your air handlers and fan coils.
For the fully integrated majors — the Tranes, Carriers, JCI-Yorks and Daikins of the world — HEDS is leverage: applied across a project, it helps sell the complete package of AHUs, chillers, heat pumps and controls that every integrated OEM wants to deliver and rarely does.
- Component pull-through: the HEDS specification pulls compressors, controls, valves and sensors into every project — compounding across offices, hospitals, schools, labs, pharma, manufacturing and federal work.
- Proven manufacturability: HEDS units have been built on standard major-OEM production lines with no retooling — improving factory utilization, not disrupting it.
- Monitoring adjacency: HEDS' controller sits in the facility, ending borderline and out-of-tolerance days in pharma and precision environments — a natural extension for OEM monitoring platforms.
- Factory economics: better utilization of existing floor space — potentially added shifts — with volume growth driven by owner demand for >50% savings.
- A path that compounds: an AHU specialist that licenses HEDS builds recurring value — and the kind of differentiated capability that draws partnership and strategic interest from the integrated majors.
- Simplicity sells: simplicity and savings will drive new client portfolios into your backlog.
- A defensive reality: whoever fields HEDS holds the efficiency edge in every HVAC and performance-contract bid it touches.
Construction, MEP & design-build firms
Win more. Charge more. Every line sells more.
From major builders — firms like AECOM, EMCOR, Turner, Bechtel, Comfort Systems USA and Southland Industries — to regional mechanical contractors: HEDS is how you own the value-added construction market. Same sales motion, validated 50–80% dehumidification-reheat savings your clients can bank on, and agreements that lock you into the portfolios your CRE-owner and PM clients represent.
- First costs can be lower on complete upgrades: smaller heat pumps, chillers, pipes, pumps and VFDs — and no DOAS or PTOA units. One tropical ESCO project evaluation went from 46 DOAS and AHUs to 22 HEDS units — saving millions.
- Every discipline earns: engineering and turnkey retrofit revenue at premium pricing, chiller-plant bundling on the same job, then service contracts on the installed base you build.
- Owner math that closes: a 6x–14x projected return on every incremental HEDS dollar locks up multi-building clients and repeat portfolios.
- Simple M&V: energy-recovery savings measurement is built into every HEDS controller — guarantee-grade documentation without guarantee-grade overhead.
- A path up the food chain: for next-tier contractors, HEDS capability creates recurring value the global players notice — the kind of differentiation that builds partnerships with, and attention from, the majors.
ESCOs & Energy-as-a-Service
Deeper savings. Faster payback. Fewer truck rolls.
Shared-savings economics reward exactly what HEDS delivers: large, durable, independently verified energy and maintenance reductions with low operating risk.
- Guarantee-grade M&V: a decade of DoD, DOE, NREL and CalNEXT validation de-risks underwriting on every funded site.
- 50–80% HVAC reductions deepen the spread and shorten recovery on every subscription or performance contract.
- Standardized fleet deployment: one engineered HEDS package deploys across thousands of similar sites; fewer moving parts mean fewer service visits.
- Channel access: validated federal data opens ESPC/UESC vehicles, and utility incentive programs in multiple states improve every client's payback — CalNEXT recommended statewide HEDS incentives in California.
CRE service & property-management firms
A proprietary efficiency platform across the portfolio you manage.
When validated 50%+ HVAC savings and a $1.01+/SF NOI lift come through your platform, management contracts get stickier — and a new revenue line opens across billions of managed square feet.
- Differentiation competitors can't match: patented savings drive client NOI and building valuations — the pitch that wins and keeps mandates.
- Compliance delivered: BPS mandates in 30+ cities carry escalating fines; you deliver the fix and the documentation in one motion.
- Platform economics: license, project-management and sustainability-consulting revenue on the installed base, with sticky renewals — before any leasing upside from happier tenants and leasing agents.
- One playbook: train one team and deploy across every chilled-water asset under management, anywhere with an internet connection.
