2025 Year in Review: David Klatt, Logical Buildings

What accomplishment, milestone, project or transaction stood out for you or your firm in 2025? In 2025, Logical Buildings’ clients achieved record gains in energy savings, carbon-compliance readiness, and grid-services revenue. Through our SmartKit AI platform, we supported over 4,000 buildings and 25,000 tenants with intelligent demand-response participation, real-time energy insights, and carbon tracking. We also guided over 700 buildings through the first enforcement cycle of Local Law 97 and emerging benchmarking rules in New Jersey, Boston, and Washington, D.C. Overall, these outcomes solidified Logical Buildings as a leader in scalable, compliance-driven decarbonization.

What emerging trends or shifts will shape opportunities for you, your firm, or market sector in 2026? In 2026, rising electricity demand from data centers, EV adoption, and electrification will intensify pressure on aging grid infrastructure. June 2025’s NYISO-reported heat wave pushed demand to 31.9 GW, the highest in New York since 2016. These peaks highlight the need for buildings that adapt and address real-time grid conditions. As carbon-compliance laws accelerate, grid-responsive operations and demand-response participation will become crucial for the stability of the grid. Logical Buildings is ready to scale technologies that link carbon goals, grid needs, and building performance.
