Runwise provides a wireless heating control platform for buildings, combining a sensor network, wireless actuators, and software that together optimize heating systems. It monitors temperature and system status in real time, sends alerts, and allows property managers to adjust and automate heating to improve efficiency. Operators access the platform via a subscription, paying for ongoing software use and potentially earning utility rebates tied to energy improvements. Compared with competitors, Runwise differentiates itself by its seamless compatibility with any centrally heated building, real-time monitoring and alerts, and 24/7 live human support, all aimed at delivering noticeable cost savings and reduced environmental impact. The company's goal is to lower energy bills, increase occupant comfort, and reduce carbon emissions across residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
