The software
behind the engineering.
Four platforms, each built because the work needed something that did not exist. They are not a product line we sell alongside the engineering — they are how the engineering gets delivered, and they are available to clients because our own engineers depend on them daily.
Q-Peak — demand response aggregation and settlement.
Q-Peak is our aggregator platform for the IESO Save on Energy Peak Performance Program. It forecasts the system peak, dispatches curtailment across the enrolled portfolio, proves the reduction against an Appendix C baseline, and settles the payment. A building earns a season payment for flexibility it already has.
Q-Smart.
Wireless sensors and a cloud platform, for the measurements a building automation system was never wired to take.
Six capabilities on one platform: cold storage temperature monitoring, space occupancy, energy optimization, water leak detection, environmental conditions and critical equipment. The sensor hardware is rated for a fifteen-year battery life, so a deployment is installed once rather than maintained continuously.
Cold storage monitoring
Continuous temperature logging across coolers and freezers, replacing the manual compliance round that leaves a site blind overnight.
Occupancy & environment
Desk, room and motion sensing mapped to a floor plate, alongside temperature, humidity and air quality where they matter to a lease or a complaint.
Leak & equipment watch
Water detection in the places a leak is expensive and unwitnessed, and runtime visibility on the equipment a site cannot operate without.
Q-PM — the platform
our own engineers
run your project on.
Not something we sell. Q-PM is the retrofit programme tracker every Quwa-managed project runs on, and clients get a login to their own project rather than a monthly PDF. Scope by unit, deficiencies, shop drawings, schedule, and a finance module that keeps contract value, invoiced, certified and paid as four separate numbers until they reconcile.
Reported progress and site-verified progress are tracked as two different facts, and not merged until somebody has stood in front of the work.
Q-Facility.
Facility and work-order management for the people who operate a building after the retrofit is finished — the layer between a Q-Smart alarm and somebody actually going to look at it.
Not released. We are building it against our own operating clients rather than a specification, which means the shape of it is still moving. If the problem is one you have, tell us now — that is worth more to the product than it is to us.
Every one of these
started as a
missing number.
Q-Peak exists because a curtailment cannot be paid for unless it can be proven against a baseline. Q-Smart exists because a freezer that fails at 2am is not in any log until somebody opens the door. Q-PM exists because "on budget" should be a number rather than an opinion, on our side of the table as much as yours. None of them were built to be sold; they were built because the engineering could not be delivered honestly without them.
Thirty minutes, with the engineer who would run the work.
No cost and no obligation. Bring twelve months of utility bills if you have them — that alone is usually enough to say whether a building has a capital problem or a controls problem.
