Joulea is a startup building a software platform that reduces energy consumption in commercial buildings. Buildings consume 40% of the total energy in the United States and emit over 10% more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector combined - vehicles, trucks, aircraft, rail, and ships. A significant portion of commercial building budgets are spent and wasted on energy usage. We use the aerospace industry’s product lifecycle management principles in order to create a novel approach to apply them to commercial real estate. Joulea implements holistic, integrated optimization methods that redefine energy efficiency and reduce operating costs within commercial buildings. We are an ATDC portfolio company backed by wemarathon with offices at ATDC in Midtown Atlanta.
