OPEN Technologies

OPEN Technologies is a technology company dedicated to climate action and environmental innovation. It originated from the OPEN Green Building Society, a non-profit that has been developing open-source software tools for the green building sector since 2013. Both organizations share a mission to leverage data for creating a regenerative future in urban environments. The company offers software tools that encourage the adoption of high-performance products and best practices in energy management. Their primary product, GRID, collects data on the physical properties and utility usage of commercial buildings. This information helps benchmark energy and carbon intensity at municipal and portfolio levels. GRID is currently utilized in 28 jurisdictions, including 23 Canadian cities, to support policy and incentive programs aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. The technology also focuses on affordable housing, optimizing retrofit pathways to maximize capital efficiency. OPEN Technologies is committed to making a positive environmental impact and fosters a culture of exploration and growth among its team members. The company collaborates with various stakeholders, including governments and utilities, to promote informed, pro-climate decisions.
