Company Description
We’re an early-stage startup out of Stanford with a deep passion for climate and energy. Two of us came together as part of a class taught by Dave Danielson, Breakthrough Energy’s Managing Director, and we haven’t looked back since. For the coming year, we’re super committed to hyper-scaling our mission and building the world’s largest platform for energy efficiency and clean energy technologies. 🚀 We’re hiring for key roles across the core team for BlueUrbn, and together, we’re going to make magic!
The world is building the equivalent of a NYC every month for the next 35 years, and buildings are a massive untapped resource from an energy, economic, and climate lens. Nearly vacant buildings saved only 10% energy and costs during COVID! On top of this, 31 cities in the US now have energy and carbon reporting obligations, with 15 requiring mandatory disclosures for energy consumption and efficiency. This problem isn’t limited to just the US - buildings were a central part of COP28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Dubai last November and all stakeholders including central governments, NGOs, utilities were extremely aligned on the need for speed and scale.
But identifying what to do to save energy, cut costs and lower carbon emissions costs building owners thousands of dollars and takes hundreds of hours of manual effort. The industry is not prepared for the mounting wave of energy efficiency, sustainability, and high-performing buildings, and we’re here to change that.
