Portuguese startup Bandora is gaining prominence in the demanding North American market with an artificial intelligence technology that promises to transform the energy efficiency of buildings.
In just a few months, the company has managed to achieve energy consumption reductions of up to 70% in restaurant chains such as Dunkin' Donuts and Dave's Hot Chicken, making it an emerging benchmark in the area of intelligent climate control.

Bandora's solution is based on software that analyses data in real time, automatically adjusting air conditioning systems to maximise savings and thermal comfort. "In one of the spaces, we achieved a 50% reduction in energy bills in the second month - in the middle of winter in New Jersey. And we're now reaching 70% efficiency, which means we've managed to cut two-thirds of the waste," explains Márcia Pereira, the company's Founder and CEO.
Entry into the US market was facilitated through contacts with entrepreneurs of Portuguese descent linked to large franchising networks, paving the way for a rapid implementation of the solution. Today, Bandora's technology is already established in hundreds of retail shops.
