Physical AI for the buildings the world already runs.

Most of a facility's cost runs through power, cooling and water that nobody sees until the bill lands. Arcestra measures it, finds the waste, and turns it into verified savings.

01 The bill

What you see is the bill.

Most operators manage the total on the invoice. The drivers sit in the power, cooling and water systems behind it.

02 The demand

415 terawatt hours. Electricity used by data centers worldwide in 2024, about 1.5% of the global total.

IEA · Energy and AI · Apr 2025

945 terawatt hours. Projected by 2030.

03 The pressure

From 4.4% to 12%. US data centers' share of national electricity, 2023 to as much as 12% by 2028.

04 The stall

Efficiency has stalled.

Average facility efficiency (PUE) has barely moved for six straight years.

05 The opportunity

The waste is real. It's just unmeasured.

Arcestra maps it, prices it, and turns it into profit.

Savings that hold up in the boardroom.

A saving only counts once it's measured against a locked baseline and sealed as evidence. That's how Arcestra reports it.

FAQ

Questions we hear most.

Still have one? Ask us directly.

Do you replace our existing monitoring systems?

No. Arcestra connects to the building management, metering and IT systems already in place, over the protocols they already speak, like BACnet, Modbus, SNMP and MQTT. No rip and replace.

How it connects →

Does Arcestra change our equipment on its own?

No. People decide. Arcestra recommends each fix with its expected impact, and your team approves every change before it goes ahead, with two-person sign-off and a full audit trail.

For operators →

How are savings verified?

Every saving is measured against a baseline locked before the change, then sealed as evidence. The result is a certificate a CFO, board or auditor can check.

How we verify →

What kind of facilities does it work for?

Arcestra DC is built for data centers: colocation, enterprise and hyperscale. Arcestra EO is built for enterprise portfolios: branches, campuses, retail and offices.
