“Air conditioning units are very inefficient devices; they confuse people more than they help,” says Márcia Pereira, founder of Bandora. The software of her startup, powered by AI, manages building temperatures better than humans, already reducing energy costs for clients by up to 70%.
At the League of Innovators, Pereira explained how her technology addresses one of the biggest complaints in buildings: climate control. More than 90% of the issues reported by occupants are related to air conditioning—too hot or too cold, reducing work productivity and discouraging customers in stores. Bandora's system dynamically adjusts conditions, improving comfort and efficiency.
Founded in 2017, Bandora has already convinced global clients like McDonald's and Burger King. In the short term, the startup plans to expand its reach; in the medium term, Pereira envisions following the familiar technological path towards an exit strategy.
