About OCTR Technologies
Founded by global experts in AI, energy systems, and real estate.
Building the future of autonomous building optimization.
Our Mission
Transform how the world operates buildings. We believe buildings shouldn't be run by manual protocols from the 1990s. They should be autonomous, intelligent, and optimized for cost, comfort, and carbon.
Our AI platform gives facility managers superpowers—autonomous control, real-time insights, and measurable ROI without capital investment.
Our Vision
A world where buildings optimize themselves. Where energy waste is eliminated. Where ESG compliance is automatic. Where every building is as smart as the people who designed it.
Buildings become profit centers, not cost centers. Decarbonization happens without sacrifice.
