Building Optimisation for Commercial Real Estate
Go Beyond Faults. Drive Continuous Improvement & Market-Leading Ratings.
Bueno’s Building Optimisation module doesn’t just fix faults. It transforms your buildings into intelligent, self-optimising systems. Combining advanced AI with our comprehensive rules engine and performance data, we automate predictive decisions to achieve peak efficiency, unlock maximum long-term value, and proactively improve your global building ratings.
What Makes Our Optimisation Smarter
Proven Results, Not Just Promises
Bueno’s Building Optimisation module delivers outcomes that matter. Clients typically see up to 40% reductions in energy use, measurable uplifts in NABERS, GRESB, LEED, BREEAM, and ENERGY STAR ratings, and a significant reduction in workload for FM and ESG teams. Optimisation isn’t just about tuning setpoints—it’s about creating buildings that continuously perform at their peak.
Holistic Data Intelligence – We unify near real-time insights from BMS, IoT sensors, submeters, and building controls, giving operators a clear and complete picture of building health.
AI-Driven Recommendations & Control – Our advanced models predict issues before they escalate, detect hidden drift, and automatically fine-tune assets to sustain long-term efficiency.
Embedded Ratings Context – Bueno builds optimisation strategies around global benchmarks, ensuring every improvement directly enhances compliance and asset value.
Configurable & Scalable – Whether you’re optimising a single asset or an international portfolio, strategies adapt to asset type, age, and capability, then scale seamlessly across your network.
The result: lower costs, higher ratings, and smarter workflows—all delivered through one platform.

AI & Innovation – Smarter Building Optimisation with Bueno
Building Optimisation is where Bueno’s AI works at full power. Our models don’t just detect faults — they predict, prioritise, and explain performance across whole portfolios.
Job Pooling – AI groups and streamlines FM workflows.
Advanced Deployment – Scales fast across any asset mix.
Predictive Maintenance – Spot regression before it impacts ratings.
Energy Slip AI – Detect drift, benchmark sites, and prove savings.
Continuous Learning – Accuracy improves with every datapoint.
LLM Querying – Ask natural language questions, get direct answers, and break down barriers to insight.
The outcome: higher NABERS ratings, lower costs, and portfolios that stay optimised.
Why Bueno Leads in Optimisation
Built on AI (Predictive & Adaptive)
We apply advanced machine learning to dynamically control and tune building systems. We deliver ongoing performance improvements that go far beyond simple fault detection.
Unmatched Global Rating Performance
Our platform is uniquely designed to drive measurable improvements for major global building ratings (NABERS, LEED, GRESB, etc.).
Integrated with Action
nsights tie directly to control logic and service workflows, turning analysis into precise, automated actions.
Scales With You
Roll out optimisation across hundreds of buildings while retaining customisation at site level.
Comprehensive Rules & Performance Suite
Our platform includes Bueno's full suite of proprietary rules and performance algorithms, ensuring deep, tailored optimisation for every asset.

Building Ratings Through Whole-Building Optimisation
Bueno’s Building Optimisation module is the step change beyond FDD—designed to push buildings past compliance and into continuous high performance. By aligning HVAC, lighting, and control systems at portfolio scale, it eliminates drift, locks in efficiency, and drives lasting improvements in comfort and cost.
The result is not just better operations, but measurable uplift in NABERS, WELL, ENERGY STAR, and BREEAM scores. With regression detection and continuous monitoring, every improvement is sustained, turning optimisation into the ultimate driver of higher building ratings and asset value.

Building Optimisation: The Final Step in Lasting Performance
From Reactive to Proactive Efficiency
Building Optimisation takes the intelligence from Energy Management and FDD and turns it into sustained portfolio-wide improvements. Bueno’s optimisation module fine-tunes control logic, maximises equipment efficiency, and ensures comfort without energy waste. It continually adapts operations based on data trends, environmental conditions, and occupancy patterns—driving measurable savings, higher building ratings, and long-term operational resilience.
Energy Management (Module 1)
Pinpoints where and how much energy is being consumed, identifying initial savings opportunities.
Fault Detection & Diagnostics (Module 2)
Applies the energy data (alongside BMS data) to identify what specific faults are causing wastage or impacting performance, and prioritises them for resolution. Essential for Data Driven Maintenance delivery.
Building Optimisation (Module 3)
Leverages both energy data and FDD insights with the power of AI to automatically adjust building controls for continuous peak performance. This closed-loop approach drives long-term optimisation outcomes at scale, by resolving current issues and preventing future issues from arising.
