About Energy Machines

Energy Machines is a leader in the design, implementation, and operation of integrated energy systems for buildings. Buildings are a growing climate problem, accounting for over 28% of global CO2 emissions. We are working to transform them into climate solutions.

By combining proven best-of-breed technologies with purpose-built digital platforms, EM enables buildings to operate as fully integrated systems that outperform traditional alternatives on operating cost, energy usage, and carbon emissions.

We envision a green future in which buildings accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. By turning every building into a high-performance energy machine, together we can achieve it.


The team

Our team is a mix of front-end and back-end developers, energy engineers, UX researchers and designers who all come together to create tools for ensuring a high degree of sustainability for our customers.
