About Arloid Automation

Arloid Automation, registered in the United Kingdom and with a presence in the UAE, operates in the property technology sector, focusing on energy consumption reduction in commercial buildings. The company utilizes a proprietary artificial intelligence platform, arloid.ai, to optimize the performance of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. This AI-driven software connects to a building's existing management system without the need for additional hardware investment. By analyzing data points such as occupancy levels, weather forecasts, and thermal comfort, the system makes real-time adjustments to HVAC operations, aiming to decrease energy usage and associated carbon emissions.

The firm's business model is structured around a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, where clients are charged a subscription fee based on the savings generated by the platform. This performance-based model aligns the company's revenue with the value delivered to its customers, which primarily include large-scale real estate owners and managers. The service promises to lower HVAC energy consumption by up to 30% while maintaining or improving occupant comfort. Arloid Automation's client portfolio includes notable entities such as DAMAC Properties and was selected as an AI partner for Masdar City, a sustainable urban development project in Abu Dhabi.

Founded in 2018, the company is led by founder and CEO Asad Lesani. His background is rooted in business development and executive leadership within the technology and telecommunications industries across the Middle East and CIS regions. This experience in managing large-scale projects and driving technological adoption in diverse markets informs Arloid's strategy of targeting complex, large-footprint commercial and residential properties for its energy efficiency solutions. The company's technology has been recognized in the industry, including winning the 'Most Innovative AI-Driven Smart Building Solution' at the 2024 BUILD Real Estate & Property Awards.
