QEA Tech is an analytics startup based in Canada that provides actionable data on the building envelope. They conduct detailed energy audits using drones, thermography, and proprietary AI based software to analyze building envelope elements such as walls, roof, windows, doors, and insulation. Their patented software calculates energy losses, GHG emissions, remediation and upgrade costs, and projected ROIs of retrofit projects. QEA Tech has audited over 500 building envelopes across North America, Europe, and Australia, across various sectors including commercial, multi-unit residential, industrial, healthcare, and academic facilities. The company has found on average 20 metric tons of CO2e savings potential per building and even greater savings potential if the building envelopes were brought up to Net Zero standards.
The company was founded in 2019 and has recently received a $2.20M Seed Round investment on 19 April 2023 from investors including Clean Energy Venture Group, Avesta Fund, E8 Ventures, Ontario Centres of Excellence, Upward, and York Angels Investors.
