Core offering

Shift Energy develops and sells SHIFT EOS (also marketed as EOScool), a Predictive Digital Twin and Model Predictive Control (MPC) software platform for central chilled-water plants. The platform uses ML-based advanced measurement to forecast cooling demand up to 12 hours ahead and evaluate thousands of control strategies, delivering 20% energy savings and 10–20% evaporative water reduction while preventing unplanned downtime in mission-critical facilities. Offerings are complemented by Opportunity Assessment, Implementation, and Post-Implementation Support services delivered as a subscription-plus-professional-services bundle.

Product overview

SHIFT Energy offers a unified product platform centered on SHIFT EOS (also called EOScool), which combines a Predictive Digital Twin with Model Predictive Control technology to optimize central plant performance. The core platform delivers real-time engineering-grade measurements of plant hydraulics and thermodynamics and provides predictive control recommendations to operators. Supporting the EOS platform are three service offerings: Opportunity Assessment (simulation and benefits analysis), Implementation Services (end-to-end deployment), and Post-Implementation Support (ongoing monitoring and assurance). The system delivers measurable outcomes including 20% energy savings and 10-20% water reduction while preventing unplanned downtime.
