Biömik® Information
IoT Efficiency Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance
IoT Smart BTU Module
Roof-top DX units make up 54% of the cooling market in the US. There are 1.6 million legacy units running at low efficiency. Additionally, 300 thousand units are added each year.
Currently, most of these units are operating in an information or data blackout. They are located on roofs with limited access. Companies and owners of these buildings have probably never seen the units that service their buildings, let alone know how well they are performing at any moment or throughout their lifespan.
Building Automation Systems or energy management programs rarely include these units and do not examine them from an efficiency standpoint. The Biömik IOT smart module now offers stakeholders an affordable way to close this important data gap.
Understanding the unit's efficiency helps evaluate the impact of maintenance cycles and services, and confirms whether you're gaining benefits from your investments.

The Market Challenge
-
Rooftop DX units account for 54% of the cooling market in the U.S.
-
There are an estimated 1.6 million legacy rooftop units currently operating at reduced efficiency.
-
Approximately 300,000 new rooftop units are installed every year, expanding an already massive installed base.
-
Despite their widespread use, most rooftop units operate with little to no performance monitoring.
The Data Gap
-
Rooftop units are typically installed in hard-to-access locations, making routine evaluation difficult.
-
Many building owners and facility managers have never seen the units servicing their buildings.
-
Performance and efficiency data are rarely available, leaving stakeholders unaware of how systems operate over time.
-
Building Automation Systems and energy management platforms often exclude rooftop DX units, meaning they are not evaluated for efficiency or performance.
The Biomik Solution
-
The Biömik IoT Smart BTU Module provides an affordable and practical way to monitor rooftop unit performance.
-
The module collects and communicates real-time operational and efficiency data.
-
It allows building owners, engineers, and facility managers to close the critical information gap surrounding rooftop cooling systems.
