Clip-on sensors that cut commercial building energy bills by 30% by identifying waste that current systems miss.

Remi and Greg launch AICE Power, a hardware monitoring system that clips onto electrical panels to provide minute-by-minute, circuit-level data and alerts for supermarkets, retail, and fast food operators. The product targets energy waste not captured by traditional BMS, aiming for faster corrective action and a six-month ROI through reduced electricity costs.
