We believe energy intelligence is the key to a sustainable future.

Our global economy increasingly relies on critical facilities like data centers and logistics fulfillment centers to run 24/7. But it turns out that more than a third of the electricity these buildings consume is wasted—adding up to $120B and 250M metric tons of CO₂ annually in the U.S. alone.

Why so much waste? Because buildings run on guesswork, and energy analysis is hard.

While buildings themselves and the complexity of their electrical load have significantly changed over the past two decades, the tools and processes to manage them haven't evolved to keep up.

Until now.

We’ve developed a cloud-first architecture that transforms legacy electrical data capture into modern, programmable software. With a RESTful API, and applications that enable analytics insights and automation, the only limit lies in how creatively and thoroughly you want to use electrical data to advance your operations. At the foundation of the platform, the Verdigris electrical data cloud is fed by advanced sensor technology that can be quickly and easily installed into any building’s electrical panels to get granular data down to the circuit level.

With tens of millions of square feet monitored and growing, each day we are motivated by our mission: to sustain and enrich human life with responsive energy intelligence.

The Story Behind the Name "Verdigris"

The name Verdigris was born from a conversation in a San Francisco apartment. Our founders, Mark, Jon, and Thomas, were brainstorming ideas that would capture the essence of their mission and stand the test of time. They reflected on how electricity flows through copper, the elemental conductor of power, and envisioned Verdigris as a metaphor for revealing the invisible—just as copper exposed to the elements transforms into verdigris, a striking green patina. This name perfectly symbolizes our shared goal: to uncover the hidden potential of electricity and make it visible, actionable, and impactful. While the connection to sustainability through the green patina was a happy coincidence, it beautifully aligns with Verdigris' mission to create a more sustainable future.
