Essess has developed mobile thermal imaging technology and a data analytics platform to identify and quantify energy losses across millions of buildings. It packages this technology in software subscription and end-customer marketing products, including a web portal with interactive energy-loss maps, a CRM tool offering customer analytics and measure recommendations, and an energy-efficiency program that delivers audit reports via mail, email and the web. The company completed field trials with early deployment partners, including the U.S. Department of Defense. Founded in 2011 and led by CEO Tom Scaramellino, Essess is positioning its products for large-scale deployment. The company received a funding round that brought total funding to date to $10.75M and plans to use the proceeds to scale its technology through partnerships with utilities, competitive energy suppliers, large energy service companies, and building materials and service providers. Essess is a Cambridge, MA-based company that provides automated energy assessments for commercial and residential buildings. The company uses high-resolution thermal imaging technology to capture, identify and quantify energy loss profiles for buildings. Essess combines this imaging with Big Data techniques to automatically generate tangible, actionable solutions to inefficiencies and the economics of each solution. Its technology was originally conceived at the MIT Field Intelligence Laboratory and the company was spun out in April 2011. The firm closed a $6M Series A financing in April 2012. No operating metrics beyond the funding and technology description are provided in the article.
