Patent number: 12106324Abstract: A system of modules which evaluate, control and measure energy usage and signatures at a building that are in communication with software executing on a computer controlled by a third-party. Software executes on the computer to compare energy usage and signatures of equipment at the facility with information in a database accessible by the computer and is adapted to adjust a Building Management System to modify the operation of at least one piece of equipment at the facility based on the comparison third-party. The database including information and filters for dynamic system adaptation to changing environmental factors.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Budderfly, INc.Inventors: Albert Subbloie, Paul Schmidt

Publication number: 20240271397Abstract: A water flow valve positioned within a waterline preferably just past a building's water meter. The valve compresses air bubbles into the water at the point where the water enters the meter, thus improving the accuracy of the meter reading. The internal passageway of the valve is non-linear and causing the water traveling therethrough to go through a plurality of turns. A blocking disk and spring are used to close off communication between a first portion of the internal passageway and a second portion of the passageway in a valve closed position. With enough water flow pressure the spring is compressed which causes the blocking disk to retract and allow water to travel through the passageway, while creating the backpressure in the waterline to collapse the air bubbles prior to the bubbles being read by the water meter. A laminar flow for the water can also be created which can reduce the wear and tear on the water meter possibly extending the useful life for the water meter.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2024Publication date: August 15, 2024Applicant: Budderfly, Inc.Inventor: FABIAN MAURICIO BARREDA

Patent number: 12027853Abstract: A system of modules which control and measure energy usage at a building which are in communication with a software program executing on a remote server controlled by a third party. The third party said usage via the software program which communicates with the modules to modify energy usage and demand for energy and is responsible or liable for energy usage charges the building where the third party does not actually use the energy.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2023Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: Budderfly, Inc.Inventor: Albert Subbloie

Patent number: 11824351Abstract: A system and method for dynamically and automatically adjusting the load on a power grid through micro adjustments of equipment coupled to the consumer side of the power grid. The system allowing for the automatic adjustment of equipment to either decrease or increase instantaneous power demand on the grid in response to peak demands and demand valleys to smooth the demand curve on the power grid. The system able to balance demand within the grid to adjust demand within various different portions of the power grid and allowing for reducing the power buffer supplied by electric utilities to reduce waste and carbon emissions.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Budderfly, Inc.Inventors: Albert Subbloie, Christopher J.

Patent number: 11625013Abstract: A system for automatically learning and adapting to the energy usage of an equipment operating according to a control input including at least one sensor for measuring an energy usage of the equipment an generating a baseline energy usage over time signature that is used to compare active energy usage measurements to so as to determine operational deviations. The system includes software that matches and compares equipment operation to established norms and can modify the functioning of the equipment when threshold deviations are detected. The system includes the ability to learn the functioning of the equipment and can adjust for dynamically changing conditions to avoid generation of false alerts or alarms while at the same time detecting longer term deviations that if left unchecked, could shorten the lifespan of the equipment and increase the costs associated with running the equipment.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Budderfly, Inc.Inventors: Albert Subbloie, Christopher J.

Patent number: 11625012Abstract: A system for automatically learning and adapting to the energy usage of an equipment installed at a facility or many pieces of equipment at a plurality of facilities, where the system is provided with an initial baseline energy usage signature for the equipment, which is modified by measured energy usage and by at least one peripheral sensor measurement data to create a modified energy usage signature. The system uses artificial intelligence to learn and adapt the baseline energy usage signature to learn the business operation and account for external variables such as temperature variance and increased business flow or an interaction between devices. The smart system can identify when a piece of equipment falls outside of “normal” operation and determines what automatic action is to be taken for that piece of equipment.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Budderfly, Inc.Inventors: Albert Subbloie, Christopher J.
