The hidden 40–60% of building cost lives in HVAC.
FULQROM makes it visible.
An HVAC-industry-native platform with live BMS integration, energy anomaly detection, automated compliance and NABERS strategy. built by HVAC practitioners, not retrofit from generic facilities software.
Traditional CMMS sees maintenance only. not energy, not value.
Bueno, CIMS and Ideaware track work orders. None of them see where money actually leaks: chillers, VFDs, setbacks and load imbalance.

Seven advantages competitors don't have
HVAC-Industry-Native
Built by HVAC practitioners. not retrofitted from generic facilities software.
Live BMS Integration
Modbus, BACnet, Profinet, OPC-UA. real-time data feeds anomaly detection.
Energy Intelligence
Catches chiller fouling, VFD mis-tuning, setback drift. $50–100k/year per building.
Compliance Automation
Essential Services + WorkSafe, Fire and Building Code. Avoid $50–100k audit penalties.
HVAC Document Repository
Drawings, manuals, commissioning. searchable, version-controlled. 30% faster diagnosis.
Replacement Forecasting
Data-driven capex planning. Variance <10% actual vs forecast.
NABERS + ESG (Q3 2026)
1-point NABERS uplift = +2–3% valuation. $2–3M on a $100M portfolio.
One platform, every layer of building intelligence
Portfolio Dashboard
Real-time building health across the portfolio.
Energy Analytics
Anomaly detection on live BMS streams.
Asset Register
Lifecycle + replacement forecasting per asset.
Compliance
Essential Services and legislative tracking.
Document Hub
Drawings, manuals, commissioning. searchable.
Sustainability
NABERS, carbon and ESG reporting.
Maintenance, energy, and asset value. compounded.
Maintenance Cost Reduction
- Predictive insights cut emergency calls 35–50%
- Faster diagnostics from asset intelligence
- Prevents $100–200k capital spikes
Energy & Operational Optimisation
- $50–100k/year energy savings per building
- 12–18% operating cost reduction
- Live anomaly detection prevents failures
Building Value & Sustainability
- NABERS improvement: +2–3% property valuation
- Verified carbon unlocks ESG financing
- Efficiency attracts premium tenants
Where the money leaks in a 10,000 m² building
Live BMS data plus HVAC-domain rules surface the inefficiencies traditional CMMS never see. Plus: defer replacement capital by 2–3 years for $100–200k more.
- Chiller fouling (2–5°C approach creep)$15–30k/yr
- VFD controls not optimised$20–40k/yr
- Night/weekend setback drift$8–15k/yr
- Thermal load imbalance$10–20k/yr
- Ductwork / valve leakage$5–10k/yr
- Total typical upside$60–120k/yr
