Hank drives energy savings for Samuels & Associates Property in Boston, MA

Samuels & Associates, owner of a 492,126 sq. ft. Class A property in Boston with both office and residential space, faced high energy costs—about $826,000 annually—of which HVAC accounted for roughly $371,700 (45%). The company set a target to cut HVAC energy usage by about 19%, aiming for approximately $71,500 in annual savings.

They implemented Hank, an AI-based HVAC optimization solution, and worked with utility provider Eversource to pursue Mass Save ESPO rebates (selecting the Low-Cost Tune-up Measures option). Hank’s team supplied pre- and post-installation interval data and completed the utility application, earning a $5,400 incentive. After deployment, the solution delivered the projected HVAC optimization and the estimated annual cost reduction of $71,500, lowering overall energy spend and improving building efficiency.
