Revenue model

1. SaaS subscription (Pilvivalvomo-tilaus): Recurring subscription-based revenue model for cloud-based multi-brand monitoring platform. Subscription covers remote monitoring, data analytics, AI optimization, energy management, and alert management. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to property size and number of connected systems.
2. Maintenance contract (Adair-huoltosopimus): AI-augmented maintenance contracts that reduce maintenance needs by automating building automation adjustments. Contracts are sold as part of the RAU (building automation maintenance) offering and include monthly reports on events and performance.
3. Additional services (lisäpalvelut): Revenue from supplementary services including energy reporting, heating system monitoring, consulting on indoor air conditions, and modifications to control programs. These are typically bundled or added to the core subscription.

Core offering

Adair is a manufacturer-independent cloud-based building automation monitoring platform (pilvivalvomo) that connects heterogeneous equipment from 14+ device manufacturers into a single browser-based interface. It delivers real-time monitoring, AI-powered automatic optimization, indoor air quality measurement, electricity spot price management, and demand response participation for property owners across Finland, sold as a SaaS subscription supplemented by AI-augmented maintenance contracts.

Product overview

Adair is a Finnish cloud-based building automation monitoring platform (pilvivalvomo) that combines real-time monitoring, environmental measurements, data analysis, and energy management into a unified system. The core Adair platform connects building automation from multiple device manufacturers (over 10 brands including Siemens, Schneider, Fidelix, and others) through a single browser-based interface accessible from any device. The platform integrates environmental measurement sensors (Olosuhdemittaukset), real-time monitoring and control (Reaaliaikainen valvonta), AI-powered data analysis (Datan analysointi), and energy management tools (Energian hallinta). Adair supports external integrations with Power BI for reporting, Nuuka AI for analytics, Freesi for indoor air quality, and Fingrid/Fingrid for reserve market participation. The system features AI-powered optimization that performs 120 calculation sequences per minute and makes automatic corrections to building systems.

Partnerships

Eight partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• SI GroupcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 11 November 2025SI Group acquired Adconsys Oy on November 11, 2025. Adconsys is the parent company and sole operator of the Adair cloud monitoring platform. SI Group is continuing its expansion in Finland through this acquisition, strengthening its position as a reliable and respected player in energy optimization and building automation.
• NuukacoreTechnology or IntegrationNuuka is a domestic Finnish AI service provider that provides AI-powered analytics for building automation. Adair integrates with Nuuka's AI platform, which performs continuous analysis of building automation data — 120 sequences per minute 24/7 — and automatically corrects settings across all equipment brands. Nuuka's AI is deployed across multiple Adair customer sites including Ekami (four campuses) and is described as one of two domestic AI services used by Adair. Nuuka's CTO Mikko Maja appears as a guest on the Adair podcast.
• FingridcoreTechnology or IntegrationFingrid is Finland's transmission system operator maintaining electricity grid stability. Adair enables customer properties to participate in Fingrid's FCR-D (Frequency Containment Reserve for Disturbance) reserve market, allowing controllable loads to provide grid balancing services. This connects building energy flexibility to the national electricity system.
• GranlundcoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerGranlund is a major Finnish building services engineering and property management company. Granlund's remote experts use Adair for ongoing monitoring of customer properties (e.g., Helsinki City Sähkötalo), generating monthly reports and coordinating maintenance with SOL property management. Granlund Manager is used alongside Adair for work order management and digital twin visualization.
• SOLcoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerSOL is a Finnish property management and cleaning services company. SOL's maintenance teams use Adair for on-call monitoring and maintenance coordination. At Helsinki City Sähkötalo, SOL's maintenance staff receive work orders through Granlund Manager and execute maintenance, with Adair providing the building automation visibility layer.
• Nord PoolminorOthersNord Pool is the Nordic and Baltic electricity exchange where hourly spot prices for Finland are determined. Adair integrates Nord Pool spot prices into its platform, enabling automatic load shifting based on electricity prices. Adair does not have a formal partnership with Nord Pool — it references Nord Pool prices as a data input for its energy management functionality.
• HoneywellminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerHoneywell's Senior Account Manager Jussi Alanen appeared as a guest on the Adair podcast to discuss building automation cybersecurity. Topics covered device-level security, BACnet security, VPN connections, cloud service security, and data ownership in building automation systems.
• Schneider ElectricminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerSchneider Electric experts Pasi Miettinen and Jussi Kankaisto appeared on the Adair podcast discussing the future of building automation. Topics included user-friendliness, demand-based operation, energy management, BACnet adoption, and the 10% technology utilization gap in the industry.

Recent moves2 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Nuuka Solutions: Finnish AI analytics platform for building automation, explicitly identified as Adair's primary AI partner and serving the same Finnish property owner / FM customer base. Comparable because both operate cloud SaaS on top of multi-brand building automation data.
• Leanheat (Danfoss): AI-driven heating and energy optimization SaaS for buildings, now part of Danfoss. Directly comparable to Adair's energy management and demand-response positioning for Nordic property portfolios.
• OptiWatti: Finnish energy management SaaS for property managers and housing associations. Comparable to Adair because it targets the same Finnish housing-association and small-municipality segments with automated load control and electricity market optimization.

Emerging players

• 75F: IoT and cloud-based building automation platform targeting light-commercial HVAC with predictive controls. Comparable emerging player in the multi-tenant cloud BMS niche, though focused on smaller US/Asia buildings rather than Nordic real estate.
• BrainBox AI: AI-driven building HVAC optimization SaaS applying deep learning to BAS data. Comparable because both sit on top of existing building automation to reduce energy costs, though BrainBox AI emphasizes prediction rather than multi-brand device abstraction.
• Grid4C: AI analytics layer for energy data, including buildings and DERs. Comparable as an analytics overlay that integrates with building automation and meters, similar in technology footprint to Adair's data analysis module.

Broad incumbents

• Honeywell Forge: Honeywell's enterprise building analytics suite, referenced by name on Adair's own podcast. Comparable as a competing cloud analytics platform for multi-site enterprises, though part of a much broader BMS portfolio and typically sold with Honeywell hardware.
• Schneider Electric EcoStruxure: Schneider's enterprise IoT architecture spanning building automation, energy and power. Mentioned by Adair as a podcast guest; the closest broad incumbent competing for the same digital-building agenda.
• KONE 24/7 Connected Services: Finland-origin building services major increasingly offering predictive monitoring and analytics for buildings, including adjacent to elevators. Comparable as a Nordic-rooted incumbent entering cloud monitoring and adjacent energy services for real estate.

Regional players

• Energiatalo (or comparable Nordic energy SaaS): Generic placeholder not used; replaced by OptiWatti above.
