Simple, transparent pricing to deliver a day-one ROI.
THE MODEL
We get paid by the savings we deliver.
BTune connects to and analyzes your building at zero cost, and only charges a fee from verified energy savings created directly from our service. That means if you don't save, you don't pay.
$0 to Start
Zero Upfront Costs
No CapEx. No installation fees. No reprogramming. No upgrades or external contractors.
BTune fully connects to your existing BAS and starts working without touching your budget.
Shared Savings
Day-One Payback
BTune's fee is equal to a portion of the verified new savings only.
You see exactly what is saved, verified by IPMVP®, and take the balance of the savings as an immediate boost to NOI.
Cancel Anytime
No Long-Term Lock-In
A lot of solutions make big promises to try to lock you in to long-term agreements.
Not BTune. Cancel your service at any time, for any reason, with no termination fee.
HOW IT WORKS
A performance-based fee, with a guarantee.
BTune's fee is set at a flat monthly rate based on a portion of the savings we estimate we'll deliver for your building. If we don't hit the mark, we'll make up the difference so you get your full ROI.
1
Estimate Outcomes
We analyze current building performance by reviewing utility data, BAS screenshots, and other information to determine the estimated percentage of savings BTune can deliver.
3
Establish Energy Baseline
Once the project is active, we establish a baseline for the typical energy use of your building for the prior 12-24 months. This creates a predictive model of what the building's energy use would be moving forward under current performance.
5
Invoice
After the first full month of energy savings have been verified, we send the first BTune invoice for the set flat fee. The process continues every month for the project term.
2
Set Fee
We then set a flat monthly BTune fee equal to our portion of the savings (see example below). The outcomes and fee are provided in a proposal for your review prior to project kick-off.
4
Save & Verify
BTune begins optimizing building performance and reducing energy use and spend. After the first full month of optimization, we verify the results using the IPMVP® methodology and share outcomes via a savings report and inside of the Operator Dashboard.
Monthly Savings Variability
Energy use isn't the same every month of the year, so neither are the savings we deliver. However, BTune's fee remains the same each month.
We calculate your outcomes and our fee based on an annual average. That means one month we might save you 10% (and our fee may be equal to a larger share of savings) and the next month it might be 20% (and our fee is a smaller share of savings). By the end of the year, the annual average of total savings delivered and our portion taken should even out.
If they don't, we'll make it right (see below).
BTune's "True-Up" Guarantee
What happens if you pay more than your agreed share? We refund you the difference.
At the end of the first contract year, we reconcile what you've paid against your verified savings. If what you've paid us that year exceeds our agreed share of the savings, we issue you a refund for whatever you overpaid and reset the fee for the next year.
If we save you more than we estimated? You keep the extra and increase your ROI.
SAMPLE BUSINESS CASE
How do the numbers really work?
Below is a pricing example for a typical Class A office. Your numbers will vary depending on building size, type, spend, location, and current performance.
250,0000 sq ft. Class A Office
$400,000 annual energy spend
Estimated Annual Savings: 15%
15% x $400,000 = $60,000/year in projected savings
Agreed Savings Share: 50%
$60,000 ÷ 2 = $30,000 for BTune's annual fee
Monthly Flat Fee: $2,500
$30,000 ÷ 12 = $2,500 invoiced each month
