Future-Ready Buildings: BubblyNet Cuts Carbon Emissions with Bluetooth® Mesh Innovation

Published

on

Environmental awareness is not new. However, the urgency to repair and reverse the harmful effects of decades of complacency has taken root. Energy-efficient buildings are emerging as a cornerstone of this movement, playing a significant role in the quest for a net-zero future. Fabio Zaniboni, Founder and Chief Vision Officer of BubblyNet, understands the challenges and believes that a practical approach toward sustainability can turn awareness into action.

CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A 2023 Global Trends survey found that an average of 80% of people across 50 countries agree that without swift and substantial changes to human behavior, the world will be on the brink of an environmental disaster. (1) With environmental concerns front and center, businesses worldwide are becoming laser-focused on sustainability and zero-emissions policies. Fabio Zaniboni, Founder and Chief Vision Officer of BubblyNet, notes, “One area that’s getting a lot of attention is the built environment, the surroundings and structures where people live and work, a major contributor to global carbon emissions. If we’re serious about achieving a net-zero future, we must make energy-efficient buildings the norm.”

“To achieve a net-zero future, we must make energy-efficient buildings the norm,” says Fabio Zaniboni, Founder and Chief Vision Officer of BubblyNet, emphasizing the importance of sustainability in the built environment as a major contributor to global carbon emissions.

57 Million Square Feet Shortfall Ahead
The World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) reports that buildings are responsible for 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions, with 28% coming from operational emissions (heating, cooling, and powering buildings) and 11% from the embodied carbon in materials and construction. The global building stock is expected to double by 2050. The “Advancing Net Zero” initiative by WorldGBC has developed a ‘call to action’ report focusing on energy-related carbon emissions that emphasizes a whole lifecycle approach, including the systemic changes necessary to achieve full decarbonization across the global buildings sector. By 2030, the initiative strives for all new buildings and renovations to achieve at least a 40% reduction in embodied carbon and to reach net-zero embodied carbon across the sector by 2050. (2)

While the push towards energy-efficient buildings is gaining momentum, it’s not without its challenges. Implementing advanced digital technologies in building management systems is a proven way to cut energy consumption and carbon emissions. However, the costs associated with these upgrades can be substantial, forcing building owners and developers to carefully weigh the benefits of sustainability against budget constraints.
A recent JLL report reveals that the demand for low-carbon office spaces is expected to outpace supply by 75% across major U.S. markets by 2030, resulting in a projected shortage of 57 million square feet. This imbalance is driven by corporate commitments to sustainability and stricter regulations, with cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. facing considerable supply gaps. In New York alone, 72% of the top 100 occupiers’ future office needs are linked to carbon reduction targets, yet the current pipeline will meet less than a third of this demand. As businesses increasingly prioritize energy-efficient and fossil fuel-free spaces, the market for low-carbon offices will likely see rising rents and intensified competition for available properties. (3)

The Intelligent Building Automation Technologies market is booming, with projections indicating it will grow from $90.2 billion in 2023 to $152.4 billion by 2028, at a solid annual growth rate of 11.0%. The heightened focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, and indoor air quality management in commercial and residential buildings is fueling this increase. Central to this market expansion are technologies like advanced sensors, HVAC controls, and cloud-based systems, which offer tangible benefits such as reduced energy consumption, enhanced occupant comfort, and lower operational costs. (4) Smart buildings, which leverage technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics, are transforming how buildings are designed and managed.

Upgrade Legacy Buildings with Smart Tech: Cutting Installation Costs by 60%
One of the biggest hurdles to adopting smart building technologies has been upgrading existing infrastructure, especially in older buildings. Zaniboni explains, “BubblyNet leverages the latest innovations in microchip manufacturing and wireless protocols, which were not available a decade ago, to make intelligent buildings both possible and affordable.” By eliminating much of the traditional hardware BubblyNet reduces installation costs by as much as 60% by embedding lightweight microchips directly into devices.
BubblyNet’s system is adaptable and designed to be retrofitted into older buildings, allowing these structures to be updated with modern smart systems without extensive rewiring or infrastructure changes.
The lightweight microchips of their system replace the need for control cabinets, hubs and copper wiring, profoundly reducing environmental impact; they connect electrical devices wirelessly using Bluetooth® mesh technology. This boosts energy efficiency and reduces the materials needed for smart building management, which aligns perfectly with the circular economy principles of reusing, recycling, waste reduction, and product redesign.

BubblyNet’s Paperclip-Sized Microchip Revolutionizes Building Management Efficiency
The technology is incredibly versatile, allowing multiple building functions—lighting, shades, internal air quality and acoustics through sound masking—to be controlled through a single, lightweight chip. This flexibility not only enhances sustainability but also brings noticeable operational efficiencies. In large-scale projects, the ability to upgrade existing infrastructure without substantial physical changes can lead to a significantly smaller environmental footprint and considerable cost savings.
BubblyNet’s system intelligence is decentralized, with data processing occurring locally on the devices rather than in a centralized cloud. This also reduces energy consumption and keeps sensitive data more secure, as it’s processed on-site rather than sent to the cloud. The decentralized nature of the system adds a layer of resilience as well, making it less vulnerable to widespread failures.
Zaniboni emphasizes, “Our technology enables appreciable operational efficiencies, contributing to cost savings and a lower environmental footprint, minimizing natural resource depletion and making sustainability more accessible and cost-effective. We are not just adding intelligence; we are doing so with the least possible material use, minimizing the depletion of natural resources.”

Infinium Edge Launches EdgeSites™, a New Infrastructure Model for Deploying AI Compute at Existing Commercial and Industrial Facilities

Published

on

By

EdgeSites delivers operational AI infrastructure in existing powered buildings — factory-built data center modules, waterless cooling, and ready in months without new construction or grid interconnection required.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infinium Edge™ today announced Infinium EdgeSites™, a development program that utilizes existing commercial and industrial facilities to deploy operational AI compute infrastructure. Built around Infinium Edge’s proprietary Edge Thermal Vectoring™ immersion cooling platform, EdgeSites enables high-density GPU deployments in existing buildings that were never designed as data centers — without new construction, without cooling water infrastructure, and without the multi-year grid interconnection timelines that constrain conventional large-scale data center development.

More than 20 million commercial and industrial electricity customers in the US are served by electrical infrastructure sized to peak demand – which industry research shows are utilized at only 40-60% on average. That unused headroom, capacity already contracted, energized, and sitting behind the meter, can support high-density AI compute without adding new load to the grid or waiting on a new interconnection.

At the center of the program is the Vector ONE™ — Edge’s factory-built, self-contained immersion cooling system designed to house 1 MW of AI compute capacity. Vector ONE units are engineered for deployment in standard commercial and industrial buildings, either indoors or outdoors, arriving pre-integrated, fully commissioned and require no municipal water connection. Installations are modular and scalable: additional units can be commissioned as site power and demand allow, without rebuilding the underlying infrastructure and occupy up to 70% less floor space than air-cooled equivalents.

Built for the Shift to Inference

As inference moves to displace training as the dominant AI workload, the growth opportunity is shifting towards small, distributed data centers that can be deployed quickly and sited where demand originates. Conventional data center developments are under compounding pressure from long utility interconnection queues, sometimes lasting years, pressure around water use, and general community and regulatory opposition enacting restrictions. Community opposition and regulatory friction delayed or blocked an estimated $156 billion in planned U.S. data center capacity in 2025 alone.

EdgeSites is purpose-built for the structural shift to inference and addresses key issues stalling conventional data center developments today. Each Vector ONE unit delivers 1 MW of inference-ready capacity inside an existing building, in a market that already has established electrical infrastructure, in a timeline measured in months rather than years. Multiple units can be used in tandem to deploy up to 10 MW of capacity at a single site.  The program converts the distributed inventory of underutilized industrial or commercial electrical capacity in the United States into a nationally scaled inference network. Vector ONE’s dry-cooler loop consumes no municipal water, making EdgeSites viable in markets where evaporative cooling has been restricted or banned.

“The data center industry has been answering an infrastructure shortage with a construction playbook — build new facilities, secure new grid connections, wait years for capacity to come online,” said Robert Schuetzle, CEO of Infinium. “That model cannot keep pace with AI deployment timelines. Infinium EdgeSites operate around different premises: the power already exists, the buildings already exist, and the technology now exists to put them to work. We are making operational what the industry has been treating as stranded.”

Deploying EdgeSites

As demand for AI compute continues to outpace available infrastructure and focuses on distributed inference needs, Infinium Edge is expanding the EdgeSites network with qualified host locations and compute partners.

Commercial and industrial property owners of industrial sites, distribution centers, warehouses, or large commercial properties with available electrical capacity benefit from receiving lease income from infrastructure they already own or control. Infinium Edge manages all aspects of site development and operations for installing and deploying the Vector ONE system. No capital investment or operational responsibility is required from the host.

AI companies, enterprises, and compute operators requiring infrastructure on compressed deployment timelines can access high-density, edge-proximate GPU capacity through a straightforward capacity agreement, priced by the kilowatt-month, with backup power included in the capacity fee. There is no construction to manage, no permitting process to navigate, and no cooling infrastructure to operate or maintain.

Infinium Edge manages the full program from development and installation to operation and monitoring— simplifying development and data center management for AI companies and enterprises.
