Entech Says S2 Cut NYC Building Emissions 25%, Saving $5 Million

Summary
Across 401 New York City apartment buildings, Entech said its AI-enabled S2 boiler-control platform cut emissions by nearly 25%, avoided more than 16,000 metric tons of carbon pollution, and saved owners over $5 million in its first year.
The system uses 20-plus sensors to track indoor temperatures and boiler-room performance in real time, then adjusts heating cycles, flame levels, fans, and pumps more precisely than older rule-based controls.
Average tenants saved about $200 on heating costs last year, while owners are adopting the platform partly to meet Local Law 97, which requires buildings over 25,000 square feet to cut emissions 40% by 2030.
Entech still cannot fix apartment-by-apartment temperature swings in centrally heated buildings, but says the software can flag leaks and other equipment problems early and could complement unit-level controls such as smart radiators.
Boston and Chicago are next targets as more U.S. cities impose building-emissions caps or annual energy-use reporting, widening the market for retrofit software that improves existing boilers without full system replacement.
