Clive AI - 
AI Powered Alerts

Clive is BraveGen’s intelligent anomaly detection engine, scanning over 20 million utility data points daily to identify usage anomalies in electricity, gas, and water across your sites. Built with advanced machine learning and verified with human-in-the-loop expert review, Clive ensures you’re only alerted when it matters most. It flags issues before they escalate by detecting patterns such as:

  • Sudden Spikes or Drops: Identify unexpected surges or dips from leaks or faults.
  • Baseload or Peak Load Shifts: Reveal inefficiencies or unauthorised consumption.
  • Increasing/Decreasing Trends: Detect performance drift over time.
  • Unexpected Zero Usage: Catch outages or offline equipment.
  • Emerging Patterns at Odd Hours: Highlight anomalies in scheduling or behavior.
  • Abnormal Weekend or Holiday Usage: Signal automation failures or misconfigured systems.
  • Rapid Fluctuations: Uncover erratic cycling or potential control faults. Every alert is scored, filtered, and reviewed – so you only get meaningful, actionable insights.
What this means for our customers.
  • Focus On What Matters: With Clive AI, you only see alerts that need action with the noise filtered out so you can address issues quickly and get to work on your priority work.
  • Find Issues Early: Early detection and action means that issues are resolved in days rather than weeks or months delivering ongoing cost savings and helping to maintain or improve key building ratings and lower emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is BraveGen different?

We are not new to building optimisation. Our building optimisation software and expertise results from over two decades of experience helping property owners and managers cut costs, lower carbon, and improve ratings faster. 

Here’s what you get with BraveGen Building Optimisation:

  • Designed to make building optimisation easy

Move from data overload and chasing tenants to automation and clarity. Ultra-flexible automated data collection with our Connect logger making chasing tenants a thing of the past. Clive AI filters noise into actionable alerts, allowing you to resolve issues faster and focus on longer-term efficiency plans.

  • Quick, hassle-free audits

Built from the start with audits in mind with audit-ready outputs that meet compliance for local and international standards. BraveGen is the leading NABERSNZ assessor so we deeply understand ratings processes.

  • Built and scaled for Australia and New Zealand

Purpose-built for ANZ portfolios with built-in support for Green Star, GRESB, NABERS, NABERSNZ, and WELL frameworks. We process 4M+ daily sustainability data rows with local support backed by over 20 years of regional experience.

Companies with large owned and/or tenanted property portfolios are often also subject to CRD (New Zealand) and ASRS (Australia) sustainability reporting requirements. Customers using the Building Optimisation product find it easy to add Carbon due to the familiar user experience making the learning curve faster, data management simpler and achieving results easier.

We are proudly built in New Zealand and focused on delivering sustainability results for the Australia and New Zealand market better than anyone else. Our expert team of building optimisation engineers is committed to achieving continuous improvement through our structured review processes.

The first step is measurement. You need to know where and when energy, water, and other resources are being used so you can prioritise areas for improvement and track the impact of changes.

Buildings don’t stay optimised on their own. Continuous commissioning is the process of ongoing monitoring and fine-tuning – like regularly tuning an instrument – to keep your building performing at its best.

By automating tenant and utility data collection, reducing admin, and delivering AI alerts that cut through noise, BraveGen helps you focus on solving the issues that matter most.

Our platform is developed and supported exclusively for New Zealand and Australia, making it purpose-built for the compliance standards, energy markets, and reporting frameworks in this region.

Audit-ready from the start, BraveGen ensures your data is traceable, consistent, and easy to export, helping you complete audits faster and with fewer headaches.

BraveGen Building Optimisation captures data across energy, water, waste, IAQ and more – providing a single platform to manage all your building performance data.
