SUMMARY
Creating a zero emission world may be both the greatest environmental challenge & the greatest financial
opportunity of our generation.
Buildings cause 33% of global climate changing greenhouse gases through the energy they consume. When
buildings use less energy, they can lower their operating costs and become significantly more valuable. In fact,
reducing their emissions by reducing their energy consumption may unlock more than $6.5 trillion in global asset
value. So why hasn’t this happened yet?
The Problem. Getting the right data to make the best decisions about energy efficiency in buildings is difficult.
A building’s energy use, operational and asset value data is rarely available. If it is, it is typically siloed in vendor
hardware and software products, walled off from one another in expensive proprietary solutions. Without easy
access to data, building owners and investors have had difficulty proving how specific investments in building
technology impact energy use and the bottom line.
The Solution. Bluenote will pull these data streams out of buildings and standardize it through a distributed
blockchain solution called the Bluenote Protocol. The Bluenote Protocol is an open-access, confidential network
that enables simple data sharing, data services, and building analysis in order to unlock new energy efficiency
strategies in buildings. The software-based Bluenote Protocol can be used both with new applications and with
energy technologies already installed in buildings throughout the world.
The Token. The Bluenote token is an ERC20-compliant cryptocurrency, utilizing smart contracts. which will be
tradable under the ticker BNOW. Buildings and devices that integrate the Bluenote Protocol and share data are
rewarded in Bluenote tokens. Buildings can then buy and use Bluenote tokens to purchase energy efficiency
analytics, from application developers who use the Bluenote Protocol.
The Marketplace. The Bluenote Protocol simplifies and speeds up the energy efficiency service market. Rather
than developing dedicated hardware and software integration for each vendor, a building connected to the
protocol can buy a service with Bluenote tokens, and simply point the third-party application to the location of
their data already on the Bluenote Protocol. Further, as more data becomes linked through the Bluenote
Protocol, applications will be able to mine the large data network for insights into building efficiency strategies
that work, while preserving the confidentiality of the buildings sharing the data.
Who will use Bluenote?
• Building Owners and Managers can make retrofit decisions they can trust.
• Energy Tech Companies can have instantaneous access to building customers.
• Utilities gain a new way to manage the demand and costs of energy in real time.
• Financial Institutions can trace a change in asset value to verified energy reductions.
The Bluenote Protocol is a potentially revolutionary technology with a unique approach to the market. Where
other blockchain solutions in the energy industry simply attempt to tokenize energy trading, Bluenote instead
opens up an entirely new market for decentralized energy efficiency data services in buildings.
