Thrive Buildings, a provider of turnkey managed services solutions, has launched ThriveIQ.
This new software is designed to help organisations sustain energy savings, improve safety, and continuously enhance operational performance in critical environments
Thrive Buildings has recently established itself as an independent company following a spinout from Aircuity to deepen its focus on helping labs, cleanrooms and other high-energy facilities cut carbon and optimise operations.
The launch of ThriveIQ is intended to address some of the challenges that companies face with complex operating systems found in labs, vivariums, cleanrooms or operating rooms.
While traditional efficiency cleanroom projects often deliver short-term gains, these typically erode over time, in many cases as soon as one year later.
"Continuous optimization with ThriveIQ is achieved by utilizing real-time data, which allows us to layer in advanced analytics and Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD)," Dan Diehl, CEO of Thrive Buildings told Building Better Healthcare.
"Historically, optimization has relied on periodic measurement. However, real-time measurement allows for the use of advanced analytics and FDD to provide continuous optimization to address any issues immediately."
Diehl said what sparked this the idea for this solution was the experience the company had built in other controls systems for other critical environments.
"By recognising the power of continuous measurement and analytics, we were able to apply these principles to cleanroom and cleanroom operations," said Diehl.
How does ThriveIQ provide continuous optimisation?
At ThriveIQ’s core is an Independent Data Layer (IDL) and advanced fault detection and diagnostics capabilities that continuously validate performance, help maintain compliance, and adapt operations to evolving conditions.
The IDL converts disparate raw system signals into reliable, contextualised information, avoiding single-source lock-in and enabling analytics and future AI-driven insights.
This technology-agnostic approach supports sustained improvements in energy efficiency, safety and reliability across a facility’s lifecycle.
"The Independent Data Layer (IDL) is client-owned data that is accessible to multiple stakeholders and not locked in by a single BMS provider. It creates an open, independent data environment where advanced analytics can be applied and insights made accessible to a broader range of teams, including quality, compliance, and operations," said Diehl.
Diehl said that the company leverages this Independent Data Layer to deliver advanced analytics and continuous optimization, ensuring that critical cleanroom performance data is transparent, actionable, and available across the organization.
Why was ThriveIQ developed?
ThriveIQ was developed in response to growing demand from facilities facing mounting energy costs, tightening carbon targets and fragmented performance responsibilities across departments.
By unifying these priorities into a continuous performance strategy with measurable ROIs, ThriveIQ provides sustained operational performance at optimal lifecycle cost for critical environments.
The spinout of Aircuity
The launch of ThriveIQ follows Thrive Buildings’ recent independence from Aircuity, a move intended to accelerate growth, deepen expertise in turnkey managed services and expand its role in helping institutions reduce energy use, embed sustainable technologies and improve health, safety and compliance outcomes.
Several team members transitioned from Aircuity to Thrive Buildings as part of the spinout, ensuring continuity of experience and execution.
