EIOS: The Energy Intelligence Operating System for Buildings
VoltOS Capacity Guard for electrified buildings
Code aligned capacity evidence and constraint enforcement, so electrification can proceed with fewer unnecessary service upgrades, subject to engineering and AHJ requirements.
Decision grade evidence pack
Continuous constraint enforcement
Living compliance record
The Problem
Buildings are stuck at the CapEx cliff, unable to electrify without costly upgrades.
Electrification projects stall when engineers and utilities size to conservative assumptions and require service upgrades. Typical upgrade paths can cost $200K to $1M plus and take 12 to 24 months. VoltOS provides a code aligned measurement and evidence pathway and, where deployed, an enforcement layer that keeps authorized flexible loads inside an approved operating envelope.
-
Upgrade quotes routinely cost $200K to $1M+ per building
-
Timeline to complete: 12 to 18 months of utility coordination and construction
-
Electrical capacity limits block EV charging, heat pump, and battery installations
-
Engineers rely on outdated NEC assumptions that don't reflect actual building usage
-
Buildings cannot meet electrification mandates or tenant EV charging requirements.
The hidden truth? Capacity often exists, it is just invisible to traditional methods..
VoltOS closes that gap.
How VoltOS Works
We measure real capacity, not theoretical assumptions. Proving electrical capacity does not require expensive construction.
VoltOS uses power electronics grade measurement to quantify headroom at the service and produce a decision grade evidence pack.
Step 1:
Instrumentation and Data Capture
-
Non invasive measurement at the service, plus optional interval data sources, depending on site conditions
Step 3:
Evidence pack for permitting and engineering review
-
Decision grade report package designed for permitting workflows and professional review where required.
Step 2:
Load study period
-
Continuous load study per code aligned pathway, with the period and method selected to match the jurisdiction and the engineering workflow.
Step 4:
Capacity Guard
Activation
-
Ongoing constraint enforcement, audit trail, and compliance record
Outcome: In many cases, VoltOS supports a code aligned path that can materially reduce upgrade scope, cost, or timeline, subject to engineering and AHJ requirements.
Safety and scope boundaries
-
We enforce only flexible loads explicitly authorized for control
-
We do not control life safety loads
-
We support code aligned workflows and professional review where required
-
VoltOS is designed to fail safe, with safe default behavior on connectivity loss
We provide tooling, telemetry, and enforcement logic, final design approval remains with the project engineer and AHJ
Why Now
Electrification mandates are accelerating, but building service capacity is not. Commercial buildings face growing pressure from three converging forces:
-
Electrification mandates: Cities and states requiring EV charging, heat pumps, and building decarbonization
-
EV charging requirements: California, New York, and other jurisdictions now mandate EV charging in commercial buildings
-
Outdated engineering methods: Engineers often apply conservative NEC based assumptions that overstate peak load.
Utilities require capacity upgrades before approving new electrical loads. But those upgrades cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and take many months.
VoltOS proves whether the upgrade is truly needed — or if the building already has headroom. In many cases, buildings can electrify immediately using their existing service.
The bottleneck isn't the grid. It's visibility.
Product
From capacity audit to full building intelligence
EIOS starts with VoltOS to solve the bottleneck that blocks electrification, capacity evidence and safe enforcement. Over time, VoltOS expands from commissioning into continuous constraint management and system of record
Delivered as edge telemetry plus cloud software. Edge enforces safe defaults, cloud provides audit trail, reporting, and integrations.

From Capacity Intelligence to Full Building Operating System
VoltOS compounds defensibility through compliance workflow adoption, enforcement logs, and an integration library that reduces deployment time per site. Over time, the evidence packs and operating envelope history become a difficult to replace system of record.
Timeline of compounding moats:
Year 1: Technical moat
Year 2: Data moat
Year 3 to 4: Regulatory moat
Year 5: Infrastructure moat
End state: EIOS becomes the system of record and enforcement layer for how electrified buildings operate inside approved electrical constraints.
