Attune

What Attune does

Attune (formerly Senseware) is a private IoT platform company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Vienna, Virginia, that provides unified building monitoring infrastructure combining modular plug-and-play sensor hardware with cloud-based analytics for real-time monitoring of indoor air quality (IAQ), energy, water, and asset conditions. The platform's technical foundation is a self-optimizing 802.15.4 wireless mesh network with AES encryption, multi-sensor nodes supporting up to three sensor bridges with four connections each, BACnet/Modbus/LON integration to existing Building Management Systems, and a cellular-connectivity option via Verizon that bypasses customer IT infrastructure. The company holds 59 patents and has developed a first-of-its-kind real-time ionization detector (IAQ-I) for Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization efficacy measurement. The platform is protected by UL 2905 Grade A validation, SOC 2 Type 2 certification, and GBAC-STAR accreditation.

Attune monetizes through usage-based IoT platform subscriptions priced by number of data streams monitored under annual or multi-year enterprise contracts, with a white-label licensing option available to enterprise partners. Its go-to-market is sales-led with dedicated customer success specialists and technical sales engineers handling complex deals, supplemented by implementation partners (Frontier Energy) and grant-channel partnerships (Center for Green Schools, Green Schools National Network, IWBI, 21st Century School Fund). The customer base spans K-12 education (1,500+ schools including Denver Public Schools, DC Public Schools, Montgomery County, Prince William County, Kansas State University, and 45 Colorado districts) and commercial real estate (Boston Properties, Carr Properties, WeWork), with secondary presence in construction, data centers, and higher education.

The company is a participant in multiple federally-funded research initiatives including the $39M ARPA-H BREATHE program with Poppy Health and Draper, the CEC EPIC-funded 3C-BEACH residential electrification study, and CDC-funded Colorado statewide IAQ deployments with CDPHE and CU Boulder. It launched its own $500,000 Future-Ready Facilities Grant program in 2026 to fund 14 K-12 districts. Founding leadership is led by CEO and Co-Founder Dr. Serene Almomen; total disclosed external funding to date is approximately $3.36M across rounds led by Blu Venture Investors, AAF Management, and others, with no disclosed institutional round since 2019.

Core offering

Attune builds a unified IoT platform for smart building management that combines modular plug-and-play hardware (sensor nodes, gateways, bridges) with cloud-based software for real-time monitoring of indoor air quality, energy, water, and asset conditions. The platform enables no-code deployment and integrates with existing Building Management Systems via BACnet and Modbus, delivering actionable building intelligence to facilities operators in days rather than months.

Product overview

Attune is a unified IoT platform for smart building management that provides multi-condition monitoring infrastructure combined with analytical intelligence. The platform encompasses four core monitoring solutions: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), Water and Energy Metering, Asset Condition Monitoring (ACM), and a Custom IoT Platform option. The IAQ product line includes the standard IAQ monitor and the advanced IAQ-I variant with integrated ionization sensors. The platform architecture consists of modular, plug-and-play hardware nodes with wireless mesh networking that auto-configures, integrated with cloud-based software providing real-time dashboards, alerts, and analytics. All solutions share a common platform infrastructure with API access, while allowing customization through modular sensor configurations.
