What Datakwip does

Datakwip is a Frederick, Maryland-based software company that operates an AI-powered building intelligence platform designed to automate energy management and fault detection in commercial buildings. The platform connects to building data sources — building automation systems (BAS), meters, IoT sensors, and weather feeds — across BACnet, Modbus, LON, OPC, MQTT, and 200+ other protocols, then uses AI to identify equipment, map data points, and deploy autonomous agents that continuously detect anomalies, surface energy savings, and generate compliance reports. Its core technology stack includes zero-touch onboarding (automated equipment identification from BAS point names), a patent-pending virtual submetering engine that disaggregates main meter data into equipment-level consumption at claimed 90-95% accuracy without hardware installation, and a meeting-intelligence capability that ingests meeting context, emails, and documents to auto-generate dashboards and reports. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration enables interoperation with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and OpenClaw, positioning the platform as infrastructure for third-party AI agents.

The company monetizes via a tiered subscription model with five platform tiers (Lite at $169/mo to Strategic Partner at custom pricing) and five AI agent add-ons (MCP Chat, MCP Agent, Analyst, Engineer, and Portfolio Manager) priced per seat, per agent, or per vCPU. Distribution is hybrid: self-serve tiers target small and mid-market customers, while Enterprise and Strategic Partner tiers require direct sales engagement with custom SLAs, white-label options, and multi-year contracts. Target buyers span facility managers, energy service companies (ESCOs), commercial property owners, and energy consultants serving office, retail, healthcare, education, and industrial portfolios. Customers are documented to achieve 15-25% energy reduction in the first year of deployment, with the company citing 10x consultant capacity gains and verified average savings of $847/month per air-handling unit.

Datakwip has raised $750,000 in disclosed funding (a November 2022 seed round led by TEDCO's Venture Funds) and holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ENERGY STAR Partner, and Better Buildings Alliance credentials. The company employs 1-10 people and was founded in 2015. No acquisition, M&A, or follow-on funding activity is publicly recorded in the input data, and the company has not disclosed revenue or customer count.

Core offering

Datakwip provides an AI-powered building intelligence platform that connects to building data sources (BAS, meters, sensors, weather) and deploys autonomous AI agents for continuous fault detection, energy savings discovery, and automated reporting. The platform features zero-touch onboarding, patent-pending virtual submetering that disaggregates energy use to equipment level without hardware, and meeting intelligence that auto-generates stakeholder-specific dashboards.

Product overview

Datakwip is an AI-powered building intelligence platform with a tiered subscription architecture. The core Platform subscription (Lite, Starter, Professional, Enterprise, Strategic Partner) provides data connectivity to building systems (BAS, meters, sensors, weather) with varying capacity levels, while optional AI Agent add-ons (MCP Chat, MCP Agent, Analyst, Engineer, Portfolio Manager) extend autonomous capabilities. The platform's flagship features include Zero-Touch Onboarding (automated equipment identification and point mapping), Virtual Submetering (patent-pending AI disaggregation of energy data), Meeting Intelligence (context-aware report generation), and continuous 24/7 Agent monitoring for fault detection and savings discovery. Users can also access a free ROI Calculator for savings estimation. All tiers include unlimited archival storage with no per-building fees or metered overages.
