Co-founder, Overall Responsibility for Strategy & Operations About Crossbreed; Today, the world is crying out for energy optimisation; however, finding scalable and easy-to-implement solutions is almost impossible.The main hindrance to large-scale implementation of energy optimisation solutions, regardless of if it is for an individual building, a network, or on the supply side, is what we like to call the egosystem, meaning suppliers with proprietary offerings that are rarely or never connected to other providers' offerings that leave it to customers, energy companies and property owners to connect algorithms, systems, and sensors into working energy optimisation solutions, making "time to market" a long and frustrating process.In contradiction, accelerated implementation of AI-supported energy optimisation requires supplier offerings that are automatically interconnected to one another in an ecosystem; therefore, we have developed EnergyOS. You can look upon EnergyOS as a “Digital Factory” to build energy optimisation solutions from Systems of Systems, interconnecting third-party suppliers' offerings of controllers, sensors, and algorithms into an ecosystem. Thus, reshaping market dynamics, getting suppliers to leave their ego mentality, and entering a more collaborative mindset enabling optimisations solutions OEM. Easy to sell, install and maintain by already installers and HVAC manufacturers. An excellent example is the Cetetherm Optimizer, a district heating substation that lowers buildings' heating demand by 10-15% using AI. https://www.cetetherm.com/sv/produkter/uppkopplade-system/optimizerCrossbreed's company vision is “smarter energy for a sustainable future”. To aid this vision and to facilitate our business idea “to offer easy access to energy optimisation”, our mission is “to connect all the world's energy data with all the world's energy algorithms".
