Interestingly, 95% of buildings in the United States lack automation, and the motors used in existing infrastructure are a century old. This outdated technology presents a massive opportunity for improvement. Currently, the infrastructures managed by companies like Return Tide cover about 5.4 billion square feet of real estate worldwide—a fraction of the potential for greener operations.
By deploying advanced motors, it's possible to reduce energy consumption globally by approximately 1%. While this may seem modest, the environmental impact is enormous. For context, such reductions could offset the carbon footprint of entire nations comparable in size to Australia or Brazil.
