Dispatchable MURB load, one API

Multi-unit residential buildings hold enormous flexible load — and almost nobody can control it at scale. SensorSuite turns electric-heated apartment portfolios into dispatchable resources for your demand-response and grid-flexibility programs, with comfort protected by hard temperature floors.

The segment your DR program can't reach — until now

Commercial and industrial DR is mature. Residential smart-thermostat programs are noisy and opt-out-prone. In between sits the MURB: thousands of electrically heated suites per portfolio, professionally owned, centrally decided — but with no control layer. SensorSuite is that layer.

Proven dispatch, documented results

Our deployment with Hilo and CAPREIT is documented in a published whitepaper: real apartment buildings, real dispatch events, measured curtailment — with tenant comfort protected by hard temperature floors. Owners earn program revenue; the grid gets reliable flexibility; tenants don't notice.

What we bring to a program partnership

  • Aggregated, verified load

    portfolio-scale curtailment with measurement and verification your program can audit.

  • One integration

    dispatch via API against our cloud platform; we handle the thousands of endpoints.

  • A deployment engine

    we recruit, install and manage the buildings; your program gets megawatts, not marketing costs.

  • DSM savings too

    beyond event-based DR, our efficiency retrofits deliver persistent demand reduction that counts toward conservation targets.
