Sentient Buildings to Achieve Substantial Energy Savings for University Square in Philadelphia

Leading Cloud-Based Building Automation Company Enables 442-Unit Apartment Building to Provide Greater Comfort and Control to Every Tenant

NEW YORK, October 1, 2019 – Sentient Buildings, a leading cloud-based building automation company, today announced it has enabled University Square in Philadelphia, a 442-unit affordable housing property for seniors, to achieve substantial energy savings while maintaining comfort.

Utilizing its longstanding expertise in the industry, Sentient Buildings installed electric heat pumps as well as thermostats in each apartment, allowing for individual tenant control without needing to rely on the centralized boiler system.  Sentient is also responsible for actively monitoring the property to ensure optimal efficiency.

The electric heat pumps operate as the building’s primary energy source above 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and provide more efficient, targeted heating and cooling to individual units when necessary.  For example, some apartments may be naturally warmer during certain times of the day if exposed to direct sunlight.

Orbach Affordable Housing Solutions recently completed its transformation of University Square, following a $25 million investment into the property.

Sentient Buildings, a cloud-based building automation company, utilizes wireless IoT technology to helps property owners and managers such as RXR, Tishman Speyer and Newmark Knight Frank eliminate energy waste, as well as proactively detect and mitigate potential equipment damage.  This results in less costly capital projects, reduced operating overhead, increased asset value, and improved tenant comfort.  For more information, visit www.sentientbuildings.com.
