Aqueduct: facilities and infrastructure intelligence that acts, then verifies.
Aqueduct is one platform for buildings, campuses, plants, airports and the water and energy networks that feed them. It can replace or connect your BMS, BAS, EMS and water systems, turns their data into actions, and verifies every saving at the meter.
Facilities and infrastructure intelligence that acts, then verifies at the meter.
Meters, sensors, BMS points and equipment in one store
- Anything that emits telemetry
Water, electricity and gas meters, air, vibration and acoustic sensors, BMS points and field devices.
- One hierarchy
Site, floor, zone and device sit in aQ Core, and every outcome reads from the same store.
- Data you can trust
Device health shows connection rate and battery per sensor, so the readings behind every decision are known.
Real control, where enabled, with an audit trail
- Relays and field devices
LoRaWAN relays switch simple loads. Modbus and BACnet field devices handle AHUs, RTUs and chillers.
- Owner approval
Setpoints and schedules change only where control is enabled and the owner has approved the rule.
- Command history
Every command is logged with whether it executed, and lockouts prevent short cycling.
Plain-language answers from your own data
- Context aware
aQ Assistant knows the site and page you are on and queries the platform for the answer.
- Analysis, not lookup
Answers include comparisons, observations and a data quality warning when coverage is thin.
- Cloud or on premises
Run in the cloud or on premises, with on-prem AI on NVIDIA infrastructure.
Facility systems, before and after Aqueduct
- A separate system for water, energy, air and maintenance.
- Dashboards that show problems but never act on them.
- Raw data handed over for someone else to interpret.
- Savings estimated in a spreadsheet after the project.
- New buildings and existing ones need different platforms.
The Aqueduct way- One platform covers water, energy, air and operations.
- Findings become CMMS tickets or approved control actions.
- Baselines, findings and costs replace raw data dumps.
- Every saving is verified at the meter against a baseline.
- Keep your BMS, replace it, or build Aqueduct in.

Facilities and infrastructure intelligence
One platform for buildings, campuses, plants, airports and the water and energy networks that feed them.
A replacement for BMS, BAS, EMS and water management
We can fully take them over, or work across them.
An AI-native platform
We use AI to drive outcomes. AI is the method, not the product.
Outcome-led
Water, energy, air and operations results, verified at the meter.
System-agnostic, any door
Works with what is installed, replaces what is failing, or is specified into new construction.
Proven in live sites
275+ sites across 21 countries, including hospitals, CRE portfolios and dairy.
Not just another BMS, CMMS, IoT or AI company.
Aqueduct sits where these categories meet. Here is how it relates to each one, in plain terms.
Controls are one part of it. Aqueduct also finds loss, routes the fix and verifies the result.
Faults arrive in the work order system you already use, with the cause and a recommended fix.
It is device agnostic, and installation runs through partners.
Agents diagnose and propose actions, and every result is checked at the meter.
Your team or consultant files the report. We provide the evidence behind it.
Seeing a problem is step one of five: monitor, measure, identify, act, verify.
Partners install hardware and deliver facility services on site.
Treatment plants, pump stations and utility networks are in scope from day one.
What it delivers.
What we do, and what we do not, at every step.
| Step | We do | We do not |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor | Connect meters, sensors, BMS and BAS points and equipment, existing or newly specified. Use IoT to sense and actuate. | Sell hardware as our core business. Replace systems that work. |
| Measure | Baseline water, energy and air by site, zone and asset. | Hand over raw data for someone else to interpret. |
| Identify | Detect leaks, anomalies and faults, spot early signs of failure, and explain the cause in plain language. | Stop at alerts and charts. |
| Act | Route tickets into your CMMS with a recommended fix. Adjust setpoints and schedules where control is enabled. | Manage technicians, inventory or work order workflows. Take control without owner approval. |
| Verify | Confirm at the meter that the fix worked and the saving is real. Supply the metrics for sustainability reports and certifications. | Estimate savings we can't measure. File sustainability reports ourselves. |
| Delivery | Deploy in existing sites and new construction, cloud or on-prem. Hardware installation through third-party partners. | Install hardware ourselves. Provide facility staff or O&M contracts. |
Autonomous facilities and infrastructure: sites that know, act and improve.

The platform under every outcome.
aQ Core: the data layer
One model for sites, floors, zones, devices and equipment. Every outcome reads from it, so there is one number per site and it adds up across the portfolio.
aQ Atria: install and commissioning
The field companion for installers: scan, install and validate every device, then hand over a commissioned digital twin.
aQ Assistant: ask the building
Ask which site, zone or asset changed this week and get the answer with the evidence attached.
aQ WaterGuard: water intelligence
The balance, leak and loss engine behind the water outcome.
aQ EnergySmart: energy efficiency
Weather-normalized baselines, demand and verified savings behind the energy outcome.
aQ AirSafe: healthy air
Zone targets and ventilation response behind the air outcome.
Keep your BMS. Replace it. Or build it in.
FDD vs predictive maintenance.
| Fault detection and diagnostics | Predictive maintenance | |
|---|---|---|
| When | After the fault | Before the fault |
| Signal | Something has stopped or broken | Vibration, a new sound signature, energy drift |
| Example | AHU blower stops. Diagnosed: failed rotor shaft. Fix routed. Airflow confirmed back. | Compressor vibration rising. Maintenance scheduled before it fails. |
| We say | Faults found, diagnosed and fixed. | Stops failures before they happen. |
Where teams put it to work
Work across what you already run
Aqueduct connects to your BMS, BAS and meters and adds the balance, the diagnosis and the verification on top.

Inside the platform
Common questions
It can replace or work across the BMS, BAS, EMS and water management systems you run today. Which functions to replace is confirmed site by site.
In the cloud or on premises, with on-prem AI on NVIDIA infrastructure for data that cannot leave.
LoRaWAN relays for simple loads, and Modbus or BACnet through a field device network controller for AHUs, RTUs, chillers and VAV boxes.
We do not sell hardware as our core business. Installation runs through partners.
