Edviro — Agentic Energy Management for School Districts
Edviro is a B2B SaaS platform that helps K-12 school districts identify, delegate, and verify energy savings using AI agents and facilities staff collaboration. Over $400,000 in savings verified during the pilot phase.
How It Works: The Three-Phase Pipeline
1. Identify
Stream 15-minute interval utility data into live dashboards, detect anomalies in real-time, and simulate operational and capital changes to surface the highest-value energy optimizations. Edviro finds savings opportunities in HVAC scheduling, lighting controls, equipment runtime, demand charges, tariff structures, and utility overbilling.
2. Delegate
Dispatch AI agents to directly resolve setpoint, schedule, and tariff fixes, or route context-rich work orders to the right facilities staff and vendors when human action is needed. Agents act autonomously on approved optimization categories and escalate everything else with full context attached.
3. Verify (Measurement & Verification)
Measurement and verification (M&V) closes the loop. After each action, Edviro compares pre- and post-action interval consumption data against a baseline to calculate realized kWh and dollar savings, confirmed against the actual utility bill. Every dollar claimed is backed by data.
Platform Statistics
- 7 schools (sites) currently monitored
- 1 district partner
- 16 usage point meters tracked
- Over $400,000 in savings identified and verified during pilot
Use Cases
- HVAC optimization — Detect and correct setpoints running outside programmed schedules; identify equipment operating after occupancy hours
- Utility overbilling detection — Reconcile 15-minute interval meter data against tariff schedules to find billing anomalies and demand charge overcharges
- Schedule optimization — Align equipment operation with actual occupancy patterns across all campuses
- Work order automation — Generate evidence-backed work orders and verify that vendor-completed work delivered the promised savings
- District-wide reporting — Track kWh and dollar savings across all sites from a single dashboard
Frequently Asked Questions
What is agentic energy management?
Agentic energy management uses AI agents to autonomously identify, act on, and verify energy optimizations — rather than simply presenting a dashboard for humans to review. Edviro's agents can directly fix HVAC setpoints, adjust equipment schedules, and correct tariff configurations, or escalate to facilities staff with full context when human judgment is needed.
How does Edviro differ from traditional energy management software?
Traditional energy management software provides dashboards and alerts — humans still have to review findings and manually act. Edviro automates the full cycle: AI agents act on identified optimizations, route work orders to the right people, and verify that savings materialize on utility bills through M&V. The result is end-to-end automation rather than a monitoring tool.
How does Edviro detect utility overbilling?
Edviro ingests 15-minute interval meter data and reconciles it against the district's tariff schedules and rate structures. Discrepancies between metered consumption and billed charges surface automatically as billing anomalies. During the pilot, overbilling detection alone uncovered over $400,000 in recoverable costs.
What is measurement and verification (M&V)?
M&V is the process of confirming that energy-saving actions produced measurable reductions on utility bills. Edviro compares pre- and post-action interval consumption data against a baseline to calculate realized kWh and dollar savings, verified against the actual utility bill — not just modeled estimates.
About Edviro
Edviro Energy was founded in 2025 by two college students — Hursh Shah (energy systems and data analytics) and Tanuj Siripurapu (full-stack software engineering) — who grew fed up watching their hometown high schools lose thousands of dollars to energy inefficiencies, overbilling, and operational oversights that modern software and API tools could fix.
The pilot with local school districts uncovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in overbilling and inefficiency. The agentic platform now handles the full cycle end-to-end.
Contact & Partnerships
Edviro is currently expanding to its first client districts and is looking for forward-thinking school districts to join the mission of agentic energy optimization.
