Heating and cooling, tuned to the building
Commercial building management, without the commercial price tag.
Thermofi cuts heating and cooling waste in small commercial buildings without replacing any HVAC equipment. Our sensors and thermostats install over what you already have, and the system tunes itself to your building.
Heating cost at Lorna Lally, DMD, Somerville. Feb–Mar 2026 vs. the same period last year, from utility bills.

Results from a working practice.
A one-month pilot at Lorna Lally, DMD, a dental practice in Somerville, MA (February–March 2026, single site, multiple zones), compared with the same period the year before using the practice's own utility statements.
- Heating cost−20%Year over year
- Efficiency+27%Weather-adjusted
- Boiler ignitions−44%Less wear on the equipment

Most thermostats overshoot, then overcorrect.
A conventional thermostat waits until the room is outside a wide band, runs the equipment hard until it overshoots, then shuts off and starts again. That burns fuel and wears out boilers and compressors years early.
Conventional thermostat
Short cycles, past the target every time.
Thermofi
One steady run, held on target.
Conventional thermostat
Wide deadband, no learning
Reacts only after the room has drifted. Frequent short cycles, overshoot on every run, and no idea what the weather is about to do.
Thermofi
Predictive, per room
Room sensors, occupancy and the weather forecast feed a model of your building, which schedules longer, gentler runs that hold the target. At our pilot site that meant 44% fewer boiler ignitions.
Every zone, live, from any browser.
The customer console shows each room's temperature, what the equipment is doing, and anything that needs attention.
What a commercial BMS does, sized for a small building.
Everything below is running in customer buildings today.
- Monitoring
- Multi-building, multi-zone dashboard with live thermostat state, room and pipe sensors, occupancy, 24-hour history, outdoor weather, and per-device alarms.
- Scheduling
- Set weekly occupied hours and heat/cool targets. Thermofi preheats and precools ahead of them and respects presence overrides without wiping manual adjustments.
- Occupancy
- Presence sensors per room, rolled up per zone for setbacks and unoccupied overrides, with CO₂-based detection where deployed.
- Direct control
- Change mode, setpoints and deadband from the console, applied to every thermostat in the zone.
- Device fleet
- Provisioning by SMS code, over-the-air firmware updates, high-resolution telemetry, and remote device logs.
- Installer tools
- An admin console for deadbands, thermal models, device assignment and engineering schedules, with links into the customer view for support.
Room sensors.
Easy to install over the HVAC you already have. Each room gets occupancy and temperature sensing, a pipe sensor watches the equipment, and the thermostat runs heat and cool.
Occupancy
Presence, per room
Catches people sitting still, which motion sensors miss, and sets the room back when it is empty.
Temperature
Temperature and humidity, every 10 s
Per-room readings that feed zone averages and thermostat control.
Pipe
Supply, return, or immersion temperature
Boiler health and freeze risk.
Thermostat
Heat and cool, standard R/W/Y/G wiring
Works with furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps. The cool relay can also drive window units and mini-splits.
Problems surface before anyone calls you.
Every device gets alarms when it's registered. They show in the console, can text the right people, and high-temperature or humidity alarms can trigger cooling on their own.
- OfflineNo telemetry from the device
- Room too coldBelow the safe threshold
- Room too hotAbove the safe threshold
- Dew pointHumidity high enough to act on
- Pipe freezePipe or immersion temperature dangerously low
